Mediterranean Chicken Pasta with Feta
"I would normally make this with uncooked chicken cut in pieces and sauteed with the garlic, but I did not plan ahead and did not remember to thaw the chicken! So I poached frozen chicken breasts until almost done and added the cut up cubes to the sauce to simmer and finish cooking. Lots of flavor here, especially since I used Mediterranean Herb feta cheese."
