Mediterranean Chicken With Feta Cheese - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    12 ounces orzo pasta
    1 lb chicken breast (boneless or skinless)
    2 teaspoons olive oil
    2 medium onions
    4 teaspoons garlic, minced
    1 teaspoon oregano
    1 teaspoon basil
    1 cup dry white wine
    2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes (Italian style)
    8 ounces feta cheese (I use 4 ounces)
    1/3 cup kalamata olive, chopped
    1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped (optional)
Preparation
    Bring water to boil for pasta, then follow package instructions and check for doneness (since recipes always take me a little longer than the stated time, I don't usually start cooking the pasta at the very beginning!).
    Heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet.
    Chop onions coarsely and add to pot.
    Cut chicken into bite-size pieces and add to pot.
    Raise heat to med-high.
    Cook until chicken is not pink on the outside (about 3 minutes).
    Add garlic, oregano, and basil and continue cooking chicken. Stir frequently.
    When chicken is cooked through, stir in wine and cook 1 minute.
    Add tomatoes with juice and continue cooking a few minutes until it becomes less juicy.
    Stir in feta cheese and kalamata olives.
    Garnish with parsley.
    Serve over hot drained orzo -- sometimes I mix it all together.
