Nicholas Baker
Very good combination of flavors
Mr. Jeremiah Andrews
It was easy and very good. I made it a little easier by using left over grilled chicken.
Alex Young
This was super easy and even more tasty. 10/10 would recommend!!
Sarah Curtis
This was a delightful and light dish and perfect for the summer!
Amber Kennedy
Yum. I used one jar with liquid of Marinated artichokes and one 14.5 ounce can of drained diced tomatoes instead of fresh. Added more feta.
Samantha Daniels
Used 1/4 fewer penne noodles. Added one can of diced tomatoes with Italian seasoning along with a 1/4 cup of chicken broth, along with marinated artichoke hearts. Delicious
Kaitlyn May
I found a Greek marinade for the chicken – made it in the morning to marinate in the fridge during the day. I also got the marinated artichokes as commenters recommended. Served it to my husband and two guests – instant favorite.
Laurie Knight
Easy to make and delicious! I left out the artichoke hearts since my husband and I don’t care for them and used two tomatoes instead, and it was great. Will definitely be making this again.
Deborah Burton
This was a real crowd pleaser. I highly recommend!
Victor Flynn
The only change I made to the recipe was in response to other reviews, adding the marinated artichokes to the chicken white it cooked. I did use fresh tomatoes but used 2 medium. My husband and I enjoyed this meal
Daniel Camacho
My rating is not based on the original recipe which was probably good but of by using the changes recommended by others. It was delicious.
Bryce Hart
I found this recipe about 6 years ago and made it originally for my boyfriend (now husband) who is of Greek heritage. We absolutely love it! Everyone I’ve made it for loves it. Fantastic recipe, thank you! My only tweak is to use marinated artichokes and dump in the entire 12 oz. including marinade. I’m just making it now for his birthday dinner.
Robin Robbins
Big hit with the family!! Added sliced black olives instead of artichoke hearts.
Tanya Rodriguez
Made it as indicated and my whole family loved it. Had leftovers for a few days and we ate it all up- a rarity in my house! Can’t wait to make it again.
Thomas Armstrong
This is an easy and tasty Mediterranean dish. I added a 1/2 cucumber for an extra pop. Love this recipe.
Sandra Peck
I give it 3 because it looks yummy but haven’t made. Just wanted to point out that the video shows kalamata olives but not the recipe itself — ??? are these video true to the recipes?
Larry Cruz
I made the recipe as stated except I didn’t have garlic on hand so I substituted garlic powder. It was good and I’m sure with fresh garlic it will be even better! The house smelled wonderful while cooking, however, the recipe tasted a little bland. I will definitely make it again, but will go a little heavier on the spices. Thanks for the recipe!
Mark Kennedy
My husband and I really enjoyed this. I seasoned the chicken while cooking and added a bit the juice from the kalamata olives . I cut back about a third on the pasta, but next time I will go to half. I used canned diced tomatoes just for speed, but I think halved cherry tomatoes would be even better.
Catherine Hines
I made this exactly as described. Not much flavor, but if I make it again I’ll add more lemon juice and more garlic and other spices. Easy enough to make just needs a boost of flavor.
Jennifer Johnson
I loved it! I might use 3/4 tbsp oregano rather than 1 full tbsp. And I added kalamata olives (because I love them)! Great recipe, and easy to prepare.
Savannah Hamilton
I left out the chicken and substituted spinach leaves for a vegetarian version.
