Greek Chicken Penne Pasta

This is a great recipe! It taste very Mediterranean and was done in 30 minutes total on the stove top. I found this recipe on Allrecipes but have altered it.

Greek Chicken Penne Pasta
1 - 8oz pkg penne pasta
1 tbsp butter/margarine
2 tbsp onion
2 tsp minced garlic
2 breast of boneless chicken, cut into bite size pieces
1/2 - 10 oz. jar marinated artichoke hearts, drain and chopped
1 small can diced tomato's
1/2 cup feta cheese
2 tbsp parsley
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp oregano
salt & pepper to taste

Boil pasta per directions until done. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan melt butter with onion, garlic, and 2 tbsp of the marinade from the artichokes over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat. Add chopped/drained artichoke hearts, tomato, 1/2 the feta, parsley, lemon, oregano, & pasta. Stir together & cook for about 2 minutes until heated through. Season w/ salt & pepper. Top with remaining feta & serve. YUM! Serves 4.
