My husband and I were kind of sick of pasta, so I made this recipe but put it on pita bread. It was a great idea! I read a lot of reviews, and a common complaint was that the pasta was somewhat dry. By putting it on pita bread instead of pasta, the problem was solved. :) I halved the entire recipe with the exception of the feta cheese and artichokes- those I kept at the full portion (I like both of those ingredients a lot). I used marinated artichokes and canned diced tomatoes per the recommendations of others. I sauteed the chicken pieces in the oil from the artichokes, which worked out really well. Overall the result was great. I feel that this is really versatile recipe with a TON of flavor.

Good, but not great. I made quite a few ch., so I am giving this 4 * instead of 3, but tastewise, I really think this recipe is "avg." Being that summer is coming to an end, I wanted one last chance to take advantage of the fresh ing. avail. - and this dish fit the bill perfectly! As I mentioned earlier, I made several ch. B/c so many reviewers warned of blandness, I decided to "doctor up" my chx. I marinated it for a few hrs. using the recipe from Souvlaki (Abby Benner). I've tried Benner's recipe b4 (using pork as direct.) & really liked it, so I thought it would work well here too. Having said that, I think any marinade or seasoning would do the trick (try Greek seasoning - my local spice shop sells it cheap, but you can also find it at any lg. grocery store). I also used only 1/2 the amt. of artichokes called for (my fiance doesn't care for them, so I compromised & used less rather than omitting all2gether) & add. all of the marinade from the jar to my pasta. I also subbed quartered grape tomatoes b/c that's what I had on hand. My fiance felt that the chx. was out of place (he'd like this to be a veg. dish) & thought that there was too much feta (but I didn't...). Served w/ warm pita wedges / hummus. I think marinated Greek olives (on the side or tossed w/ the pasta) would complement this nicely, but didn't add any b/c neither my fiance or I care for them. I also think this would be better cold (i.e. as a pasta salad) & will try that next time. Tx. Lalena :)

Really good and healthy! I did use whole wheat penne for the added healthiness, and as many others did added juice from the artichokes. Needed quite a bit of seasoning but the end result is delicious!

Followed recipe exactly. A little too tangy for me. It was good, the leftovers were better though. Maybe I'll cut the amount of lemon juice next time.

Excellent...quick, easy and everyone absolutely loved it! I added olives too and it was a good addition. I will keep this recipe in the regular rotation and pretend to be a good cook :))

Yes, this was very good. I used Kalamata olives and penne. But... something was missing from this dish, but I can't tell what...

This was very good. I did make a few changes though. I used the juice from the artichoke hearts and also used canned tomatoes with the juice. I also added Kalamata olives. Served over penne pasta.

I am not a cook and even I could follow this recipe. It is so yummy! I added mushrooms and green olives to the recipe as well and it was great. This was so easy and tasted like something I would get at a restaurant. This is definitely going to be a regular.

My husband, and I both LOVED this. I only used 1 tsp of oregano and I added a little liquid from the artichoke hearts as other suggested. Other then that followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious. I can't wait to eat the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. This will be added into the rotation.

I usually marinate the chicken in italian dressing and use the dressing when I cook the chicken. It adds a nice tang with the lemon. I even made this for Chritmas Eve once.

Wonderful change from the regular meals we make. Kalamata olives are a definite and I added some zucchini which really went well! I might ease up on the oregano next time.

I needed an easy and healthy meal for on-the-go, so I ditched the noodles and wrapped it in a lettuce leaf and a spinach wrap. It was fabulous, my fiancee was in absolute awe.

I thought with all the ingredients in this recipe that it would be delicious - it was not. It was very bland and bitter, which is such a shame because it is so very easy to pull together.

Excellent! I was looking for a side dish so I opted out of the chicken and added kalamata olives and sundried tomatoes, according to other reviewers. Used fresh herbs-- basil and greek oregano. Also made a half-pound of pasta (rigatoni) which was the perfect amount. Served cold. Will be adding this one to the recipe box!

This came out drier than I expected. Next time I will add the liquid from the artichoke hearts as others suggested. Also, this was great as a cold dish!

My hubby said this is definitely a "keeper", and I totally agree! I followed the suggestions of others and did the following: seasoned my chicken w/salt & pepper, sub'd artichokes for mushrooms (the little town I live in doesn't sell marinated artichokes believe it or not), and used 1 can of diced tomatoes with juice instead of a large tomato. The juice is a must, and I would consider even using 1 1/2 cans next time. I made this with rigatoni noodles, but will use a spaghetti noodle next time. Thanks for the great recipe!

This was great! My husband went back for a total of 3 helpings. I changed a few things... I added chicken sausage, spinach and zuchinni and used whole wheat pasta. I also used canned italian styled tomatoes (diced) and a jar of marinated artichokes. I used juice from the both the tomatoes and artichokes to make a sauce (to my liking)and added a touch of ff half and half to make it creamier. WOW!!!

This is a very tasty dish that we will have again! I halved it and maybe added a little more garlic than called for. I also used some of the liquid from marinated artichoke hearts. But otherwise, I followed the directions. This is a wonderful, light pasta meal. I agree with one of the reviewers who said that it is not supposed to have a thick sauce on the pasta. Very tasty!LATEST REVIEW: I think this would be best with half the pasta recommended. I made the whole recipe tonight, and it seems that it just had too much pasta. That could solve the problem of taste for most diners.

Needed some tweaking... after adding fresh mushrooms, the artichoke brine, a can of fire-roasted tomatoes (not drained), and a few splashes of balsamic, there was plenty of liquid, but it was a bit too thin, so I added a cornstarch slurry (cornstarch and water) which thickened it up very nicely. Also added red pepper flakes and capers and topped with fresh grated parmesan... And I had seasoned the chicken with salt and pepper before cooking. It was unique, savory and healthy with these changes.
