This White Wine Chicken Pasta combines tender, diced chicken breasts with a light white wine and garlic sauce, tossed with bowtie pasta, juicy grape tomatoes, and finished with crumbled feta cheese for a flavorful and easy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 1 box Bowtie Pasta (16 ounces)

Chicken and Sauce

  • 2 boneless skinless Chicken Breasts (diced)
  • 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon Oregano
  • 1/2 cup White Wine
  • 1/2 cup Olive Oil (plus a drizzle, about 2 tablespoons)

Vegetables and Cheese

  • 1 container Grape or Cherry Tomatoes (10–16 ounces, sliced in half)
  • 1 container Crumbled Feta Cheese (6 ounces)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pasta: Cook the bowtie pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water to adjust sauce consistency if needed.
  2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 1/2 cup olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breasts and sauté until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. Sauté Garlic and Tomatoes: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sliced grape tomatoes and oregano, sautéing until tomatoes begin to soften and release juices, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Deglaze with White Wine: Pour in the 1/2 cup white wine to deglaze the skillet, scraping any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine simmer and reduce slightly for about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine with the tomatoes and garlic. Add the cooked pasta and drizzle with about 2 tablespoons more olive oil. Toss everything together well, heating through and adjusting sauce thickness with pasta water if necessary.
  6. Finish with Feta Cheese: Remove skillet from heat and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the pasta. Gently toss to incorporate the cheese without fully melting it, allowing a creamy texture with distinct feta pockets.
  7. Serve: Plate the pasta and garnish with additional oregano or fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm for a delightful and hearty meal.

Notes

  • Use a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio for best flavor.
  • Reserve pasta water to adjust sauce consistency as needed.
  • Cherry tomatoes can be substituted with sun-dried tomatoes for a different flavor profile.
  • Feta cheese adds saltiness; adjust salt in the recipe accordingly.
  • This dish is best served immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and textures.
