DH loved this recipe. I did add 1 teaspoon butter and a bit of salt to the rice while cooking. I made as directed but added 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes to the onion and garlic mixture. I will probably add 1 teaspoon next time. I used 1/2 cup half and half and 1 cup 2% milk. Thanks for a nice dinner Kitten.

I had some wonderful French goat feta cheese I needed to use and this recipe fit the bill. I used half light butter and half EVOO, and 3 cloves of garlic because we are garlic lovers. I also browned the whole chicken breasts first and then cut into bite-size pieces because it is easier and much faster to do it that way. I also used skim milk mixed with fat-free half and half. This is another one of your great recipes Kittencal.

Excellent recipe!I had bought a big tub of feta & was looking for a good recipe,so that I could use it up.This recipe was a BIG winner!i made supper for two hungry guys & there is not that much leftover now!I made few minor changes and added some capsicum to the dish.I also didn't have any olives,so I left them out and I used chicken spice and mixed herbs in the flour mix,instead of paprika and oregano.
