Mediterranean Pasta

Yum Town! For a first time try, this turned out really well. Next time I think I am going to add in some artichoke hearts as well. This is tasty served hot or cold.

Side note: Not sure if I have mentioned this before but the brown rice pasta at Trader Joes is about 1/3 the price of the grocery stores. GO TO TJs!

Mediterranean Pasta

Serves 6

Ingredients:

3/4lb brown rice spiral noodles

1 1/4 lb chicken breasts, cubed

2 cloves garlic, minced

Greek seasoning

1 (12oz) bag frozen brocolli

1 carton grape tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup Kalamata olives, halved

1 cucumber, peeled and diced

1/2 containor feta cheese

olive oil

merlot/red wine vinegar

Directions:

Cook pasta. As I have mentioned before, watch brown rice pasta carefully! It goes from done to mush in minutes.

In a large saucepan, cook chicken and season with garlic and greek seasoning. When chicken is just cooked through, add in broccoli and cucumbers until warm. Toss in tomatos, olives and feta cheese and combine with pasta. Using as much olive oil and merlot/red wine vinegar as desired, toss pasta until correct level of taste is achieved.
