Not Too Shabby

so i made supper tonight--been trying some new recipes. heck, just trying to cook more as we eat out way too much. thankfully, this one turned out pretty decent. anyway, here's the recipe:

1 (16-ounce) package of penne pasta
1 1/2 tablespoons butter (i used two, cuz i l-o-v-e butter)
1/2 cup chopped red onion (a fav of the adorable one, just an fyi)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves-cut into bite-size pieces
1 (14-ounce) can of artichoke hearts in water
1 tomato, chopped
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
3 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and fresh pepper to taste

1. in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook penne pasta until al dente and drain.

2. meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter, add onion and garlic, and cook for two minutes. add chopped chicken and continue cooking until golden brown.

3. reduce heat to medium-low. drain and chop artichoke hearts and add them, the chopped tomato, feta cheese, fresh parsley, lemon juice, dried oregano, and the drained pene pasta to the large skillet. cook until heated through, maybe two to three minutes.

4. season with salt and pepper. serve warm.

granted, my dish didn't look exactly like the pic below, but it turned out pretty decent.
