Hot Weather Cooking

Although it hasn't gotten too, too hot yet, we're getting a definite taste of summer.  Last night I decided to cook accordingly and made a chicken pasta with blueberries and feta cheese.  It's super easy, and very very yummy.

Chicken pasta with blueberries and feta cheese
1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast
8 oz uncooked pasta  (Any will do.  I've used penne, bowties, linguine and spagettini, and it's all good.)
1 tbsp of cooking oil
1 shallot (I always use 3-4 green onions)
1/3 cup of low salt chicken or veggie broth.  (This has to be low salt, because the feta is quite salty)
1/3 cup of fresh lime juice
1/3 cup of crumbled feta
1 cup of fresh blueberries


  • Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and cook throughout .  Set aside in a bowl.
  • Cook the pasta and add to the chicken bowl
  • On medium heat, sauté the onion in the oil until softened.  Add the lime juice and the broth, and when the liquid starts to bubble add the feta.  Stir until the cheese is mostly melted and well mixed with the other ingredients.  Pour over the chicken and pasta
  • add the blueberries, and mix well before serving.


This makes 4 servings.  I like it served hot, but the leftovers are pretty good served cold too.

  1. Chicken is a dirty word to someone other than me in this house, this sounds like it might make the cut with the blueberries and cheese.
