Are Sun-dried Tomatoes Healthy?

Like tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes are full of antioxidants, vitamins, and good-for-you minerals.

With high levels of lycopene, the antioxidant levels in sun dried tomatoes can help lower your risk of cancer and age-related diseases like cataracts and macular degeneration.

 I’m excited to stop by and share a really yummy pasta recipe with you today!

I’ll be honest: I love Mediterranean flavors like sun-dried tomatoes, Kalamata olives, garlic and feta cheese.  After all, we know a little feta makes everything bettah’!  (Sorry I couldn’t help myself.)  I make another dish that is similar that has zucchini and squash… Grilled Chicken and Squash with Tomato Feta Pasta – mmm, it’s so easy and so delicious!

But more about this Greek Chicken Pasta Skillet – all of those big tangy flavors play so nicely together.  And when you add hearty pasta and tender chicken into the mix you have one amazingly tasty well-balanced meal.

You could even do this ahead of time and then pull it all out when you’re ready to start cooking.

Or save some time and purchase julienned sun-dried tomatoes, halved olives, and crumbled feta.  It’s amazing all the pre-prepped ingredients that are available to us nowadays.

If we only we could get someone to cook it for us too! LOL

I guess that’s what takeout’s for –huh?

But trust me, one bite of this Greek Chicken Pasta and you’ll be spoiled forever – no takeout will be able to compare to this delicious meal.

Guess you’ll be cooking at home from now on.
