This is what I made for dinner last night and was pleasently surprised at how easy, flavorful, and "non-healthy" it tasted. I'm trying not to eat a ton of carbs after six so I served it without the pasta with a side green salad and grilled asparagus, but my husband had it served over whole wheat penne.

The recipe and it's nutritional info is saved under 'recipes' on MFP. Let me know how you all liked it

serves 4
1 tbsp. olive oil
2 6oz. skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
3/4 c. water
1 can (10 3/4 oz.) condensed cream of chicken soup
1/2 c. thinly sliced sun-dried tomatoes
1/2 c. sliced pitted kalamata olives
1/2 tsp. dried oregano leaves, crushed
1/4 c. crumbled feta cheese
hot cooked penne or orzo pasta


1. Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 10 minutes or until well browned on both sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet.

2. Stir the garlic, vinegar and water in the skillet. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Stir in the soup, tomatoes, olives, and oregano and heat to a boil. Return the chicken to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low. Cook for 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Sprinkle with the cheese. Serve the chicken and sauce over the pasta.

    That sure does sound yummy! So, I'm wondering, how much orzo (or penne) is in each serving to still have that calorie count?

    Sorry, the carb choice isn't factored into the calorie count... I'm doing low carb and it slipped my mind when i was adding everything up!
