This hearty main dish has great Mediterranean flavor. I left out the olives, and my family still loved it. —Susan Stetzel, Gainesville, New York

Tip

The History of Feta

FETA is a white, salty, semi-firm cheese. Traditionally it was made from sheep or goat's milk but is now also made with cow's milk. After feta is formed in a special mold, it's sliced into large pieces, salted and soaked in brine. Although feta cheese is mostly associated with Greek cooking, "feta" comes from the Italian word "fette", meaning slice of food.

Loved it! We're not fans of artichoke, so I substituted small pieces of blanched thin asparagus!

I also had a pound of boneless/skinless chicken breast in the fridge, so pre-cooked it in a Rosemary/Garlic seasoning.

Hubby and I LOVED it - promptly inhaled :D

I am a subscriber to Taste of home and I tried this recipe and my family loved it. I don't like greek olives, but used black olives instead. My mom has moved in due to health issues and threw my book away that had the recipe in it and I am so glad I could go on line and find it. This is a great dish.

This was DELICIOUS! I didn't chop up the tomatoes well enough, and ended up with big, too-flavorful bites of tomato, so be sure to chop it before you mix it in.

I left out the olives, and it still turned out great. Be sure to chop up the artichoke and sun dried tomatoes really well, and use a big pot!

Lots of taste and really easy to make. Everyone in my family enjoyed this recipe (even with the tomatoes and artichoke hearts in it, usually not their favorites). I did not use the olives and I used boiled chicken breasts instead. Will make this one again!

My family loves this recipe.....however I do not use the store bought chicken...I know the idea is for a quick meal however I boiled chicken breasts with the bone in and then I chop up the chicken because it is so much more moist and tender...delicious

We love this recipe, however I do no use rotisserie chicken... I realize the idea is quick but I boil chicken breasts w/bone and chop off the bone as more moist and flavorable.....delicious.

We LOVE this recipe and we make it over and over. It's all about the Quality of the ingredients you buy. You will have to spend a little more but it's so worth it. We really like using the smoked sundried tomatoes instead of the oil packed and we use the herb feta. Tons of flavor and is even better the next day for lunch!

This recipe was super simple and great tasting. We DO NOT do onions, so I omitted those. Also, we just baked some boneless chicken breasts with italian seasoning and chopped that into cubes. My husband and I loved it and we will be making it over and over again!
