Creamy Chicken Feta Pasta with Tomatoes {20 Minutes!} - Fearless Dining (2023)

If you are looking for a quick and easy meal that the whole family will love, this Chicken Pasta with Feta and Tomatoes is a family favorite. If you have seen the viral TikTok Pasta video, this is my gluten free version! All you need is 20 minutes to make this stovetop!

I am so excited about this recipe because EVERYONE in the family loved it...they absolutely devoured it! It is a delicious pasta dish because the tomatoes and feta cheese take it over the top!

You can make it any time! I love this recipe for those busy school nights. Dip these Gluten Free Breadsticks or these Gluten Free Dinner Rolls into the sauce!

Why this speedy dinner recipe is great:

• You can make it quickly in a skillet on your stove in just 20 minutes.
• Any gluten free pasta will taste incredible in this feta cheese pasta recipe. I used chickpea rotini pasta.
• Vary the herbs you use! I loved using fresh oregano! Basil is another popular herb to use in pasta dishes.
• The feta cheese makes the sauce so creamy!

I just made this last night. Yum!"

Ingredient notes:

• Pasta - Any type will work, even zucchini zoodles.
• Tomatoes - I like to use grape tomatoes for this recipe because they don't turn to mush when cooked.
• Feta cheese - Buy one block of feta, or use crumbled feta cheese. Do NOT use low-fat or reduced-fat as that will affect the creamy texture of this recipe.
• Herbs - As I mentioned above, fresh oregano and basil are best. You can use dried herbs if you can't find fresh in stores. You will need fewer dried herbs.

Recipe step by step directions:

Step 1: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the chicken.

HINT: I recommend a pan that is non-stick (or a green pan or cast iron skillet) so clean-up is easy.

Step 2: Add the tomatoes, fresh herbs, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook until the chicken is halfway cooked, and flip it over.

Step 3: Add the feta cheese. Cover and turn the heat down to low to simmer. Cook until the cheese is melted. Use a meat thermometer to double-check your cooked chicken is 165 degrees F.

Step 4: Bring a pot of water to boil and cook your spaghetti according to package directions. Avoid mushy pasta with my expert gluten free pasta cooking tips! When the pasta is done cooking, pour it into a colander to drain.

Step 5: Pour the chicken mixture into the cooked pasta. Mix the tomato feta pasta well. Serve it hot. You can top it with grated parmesan if you like.

Variations:

• Use goat cheese instead of feta cheese for a smoother creamy flavor.
• Add ½ cup of heavy cream for a creamier sauce! (I recommend an extra garlic clove if you do this.)
• Any pasta will work, even zucchini zoodles!

Storage:

Store this in an air-tight container in your refrigerator. It should keep fresh for up to 3 days. Because of the pasta in this feta chicken recipe, it will not freeze well.

If you make just the chicken, feta, and tomato part, you can freeze that, then thaw it in a skillet and add fresh pasta
