Greek pasta with baked lemon chicken

Ingredients:

4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
1 cup halved grape or cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon freshly chopped oregano

12 oz of your fave pasta(I used twirls so it would into the nooks)

Chicken:
6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

pepper to taste

kosher salt to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 lemons, cut into wedges

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450°.
In a large bowl, combine feta, tomatoes, olives, parsley, lemon juice, 1/4 cup olive oil and oregano. Cover and chill in refrigerator.

Boil pasta. Once done mix with feta mixture. 


Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large roasting pan over medium-high heat. Season chicken with kosher salt and pepper. Sear chicken, about 1-2 minutes each side; remove from heat.
Squeeze lemon wedges over chicken to coat. Place the squeezed lemon wedges around the chicken breasts. Roast for about 25-30 mins. 

Slice and put on top of pasta. Enjoy!!
