Preparation

- Warm 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in chicken, and season with pepper and garlic powder. Cook until chicken is cooked through and browned, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken to paper towels.
- Pour chicken broth into the skillet. Add asparagus, chopped garlic, a pinch more of garlic powder, oregano聽and pepper.
- Cover and steam until the asparagus is just tender, about 5 minutes.
- Return chicken to the skillet, and warm through.
- Stir chicken mixture into pasta and mix well. Let sit about 5 minutes.
- Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, stir again, and then sprinkle with feta cheese.
Helpful hints
- One-pound fresh asparagus yields approximately 2 cups when trimmed.
- Feta cheese is very high in sodium. This dish was made low sodium by limiting feta to 1/4 cup, omitting salt and using low-sodium broth.
- 2 average chicken breasts without bones or skin is approximately 8 ounces.
