Tips for the best Mediterranean Pasta with Chicken

This Greek pasta with chicken only takes 35 minutes to prepare and is made entirely in one pot!

Below are a few notes, tips and tricks to achieve the best Creamy Greek Chicken Pasta!

1. You can use store-bought all-purpose Greek seasoning or you can make your own. Making your own seasoning is quick and easy to do, plus it allows you to customize the flavor and salt content to your own liking. Here is the recipe to make your own Greek Seasoning.
2. For the most flavorful sauce, use a mixture of both chicken broth and wine. I used 2 1/2 cups of chicken broth and ¾ cup dry white wine.
3. The exact amount of chicken broth will depend on the size of your skillet. You want to use enough liquid to just cover all the pasta!
4. If you use a large, wide straight sided skillet the pasta will cook quicker than in a pot.
5. Only add the extra tablespoon of oil to the pan in step 2 if needed! If your skillet is dry, add the oil to sauté the sun-dried tomatoes. If you have enough fat in the pan, omit the oil.

This Mediterranean chicken pasta is incredibly delicious, ridiculously easy to prepare, and packed with Greek flavors! Fast and flavorful, this pasta is sure to get you out of your boring dinner rut!

Until next week, friends, cheers!
