This Garlic and Feta Chicken Spaghetti is packed with flavor! Ready in under 20 minutes, this is the perfect busy night dinner option!
I don’t know about you, but I LOVE Feta! It is one of my most favorite cheeses to add to salads, pizza, pastas, and more!
It surprises me because truth be told, I can’t stand most cheeses! I enjoy some cheese shredded or sprinkled on top, but anything that hardens, is chunked, melted, etc is a no go with me. Crazy, right?!
A few weeks back, this pasta dish was something I kind of threw together for a quick dinner option. I didn’t have a lot of thought that went into it, just sort of winged it!
My original idea was to make some buttered pasta, perhaps using a Garlic Sage sauce. However, after tossing things in, rummaging through my pantry/refrigerator and more…. I made this garlic sauce and it is pretty darn incredible. This dish surprised even me, haha!
Adding in the grape tomatoes was an after thought that ended up being one of my favorite thoughts!
If you aren’t a fan of Feta, no worries, you can use Parmesan or Mozzarella in its place!
If you don’t have spaghetti or fettuccine noodles, use what you have on hand! This pasta can truly be made to your likes and preferences!
Are you a mushroom fan? Toss them in! Black olives? Sure! See? Lots of options and ideas!
The one thing I will strongly encourage is to use FRESH garlic! I know, I know….jarred and dried is so much easier. Trust me on this though. The flavor is far more enhanced using fresh!
If you’re looking for a fresh, flavorful meal idea….definitely try my Garlic and Feta Chicken Spaghetti and let me know what you think!
