Ingredients
- 14 oz pasta
- 14 oz chicken breast
- 7 1/10 oz feta cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 clove garlic
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 392°F (400°F) and place a rack in the middle of the oven.
- 2In a large mixing bowl, combine the bite‑size chicken pieces with olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper; toss until every piece is evenly coated.
- 3Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the seasoned chicken in a single layer.
- 4Bake the chicken for 15–18 minutes, or until the interior reaches 167°F (165°F) and the edges are lightly charred; remove from the oven and set aside.
- 5While the chicken bakes, bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta, and cook according to the package instructions until al dente (about 8–10 minutes). Drain, reserving ½ cup of the pasta cooking water.
- 6Return the drained pasta to the pot, add a splash of the reserved cooking water, and gently stir to keep it moist.
- 7In a large oven‑proof skillet, combine the cooked pasta, baked chicken, and crumbled feta cheese; toss gently to distribute the feta evenly.
- 8Place the skillet back in the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, just until the feta softens and begins to melt.
- 9Remove the skillet from the oven, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top, and give the dish one final gentle toss.
- 10Serve the pasta hot, optionally adding an extra drizzle of olive oil or a pinch of red pepper flakes for added heat.
