Umm Umm Good..

Since this heat looks like it will NEVAH go away I thought I might share with you a really easy yummy recipe that is perfect for this hotter than hell weather. I came up with this late one afternoon at the lake. We had been swimming all day long and had forgotten that we would actually need to feed everyone. I was asked to throw something together with what I could find-I found linguine noodles, leftover smoked chicken, onions and tomatoes. So here is my Greek Chicken Pasta:



3 chicken breasts cooked and shredded

3 large tomatoes, chopped

1 large onion, diced

Balsamic Vinegar

Olive Oil

1 can black olives

Feta cheese

Linguini noodles


Cook noodles according to package directions. In a large skillet add 2 Tbs of olive oil and sauté onions for about 4 minutes then add tomatoes. Toss a in a pinch of Kosher salt and continue cooking until the onions are translucent. Toss in your shredded chicken and 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar; continue cooking on a medium heat until the tomatoes are totally soft and separating from their skin. You may need to add more olive oil to keep the mixture moist.
Toss chicken mixture and drained black olives with cooked, drained pasta. Cover and chill. Before serving you will need to re-toss and will probably need to add a little more olive oil and balsamic. Top each serving with feta cheese.


This keeps very well and is actually better the day after it is made. Plus you can change it up in any number of ways depending on what you have on hand..I have made it with artichoke hearts, and instead of just topping the servings with feta have added chilled cherry tomatoes and fresh sweet basil. Serve it with some nice crusty French bread and you can’t go wrong…..
