Ingredients

300 g Pasta
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Unsalted Butter
450 g Chicken Breasts sliced
4 Garlic Cloves minced
1/4 tsp Sweet Paprika
1/3 cup Dry Sherry or White Wine
2 tbsp Tomato Paste
100 g Cream Cheese
1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
100 g Feta Cheese
75 g Sun Dried Tomatoes
1/4 cup Fresh Basil finely chopped
Black Pepper to taste

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the pasta al dente according to the instructions on the package. Reserve 1-2 cups of pasta water before draining.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet and melt the butter in it. Add the chicken breast slices and cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until slightly golden.
Stir in the garlic and sweet paprika and continue to cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the dry sherry to deglaze the pot and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the alcohol evaporates.
Stir in the tomato paste, cream cheese and 1 cup of the reserved pasta water. Stir to combine and allow the sauce to simmer for 2 minutes.
Add the oregano and crumbled feta cheese and stir to combine.
Allow the sauce to simmer for 2 minutes, then toss in the cooked pasta. Toss well until the pasta is covered in sauce, adding a dash of pasta water if it looks too thick.
Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and season with freshly ground pepper.
Garnish with basil leaves and crumbled feta cheese. Serve hot.
