Helpful hints

  • Any type of pasta would work for this recipe.
  • To add extra flavor use grilled chicken breasts.
  • For a higher or lower protein dish you can adjust the amount of chicken.
  • The feta cheese and olives are limited, providing less than 1 tablespoon per serving. You can reduce the amount or omit to further reduce sodium and phosphorus.
