Michelle, get this winner of a recipe out of your "must try" file and onto your dinner table! I did do it a little different--I cut up boneless and skinless chicken breasts into chunks. The dish looked as good as it tasted. YUM! -
An excellent recipe! The sauce is bursting with flavor, thanks to the oregano and feta cheese. The chicken was tender, and the dish looked as beautiful as it tasted. I served it over orzo, as suggested, and we had a lovely Greek-style dish. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe. -
Made this for dinner tonight, and OH, MY WOW! My girlfriend and I are putting this on the "definitely a keeper" list. -
This is a family favorite. We have made it many time for company! We love it because we are a divided family 1 vegeterian and 2 carnivores, this is easy to prepare leaving the chicken on the side so that everyone is happy. I do add about 1/4 cup dry red wine to it. -
My family think it was allright.3 stars. It tastes like spageti sauce with chicken. I cannot tell much flavor from feta cheese, after adding into the sauce. Nothing bad , but not as good as other people praised. I certainly would not cook this for guests.

Yum! I had to substitute onions and garlic for the shallots and used home canned tomatoes instead of the crushed tomatoes which made the sauce a little thinner but still delicious. I didn't know if DH liked feta and was very happy when he said "wow". Definately will make again. Thanks.
