# How To Make:
01 - Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Brush chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with oregano, salt, and pepper.
02 - Grill chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side until cooked through and juices run clear. Transfer to a plate and rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
03 - While chicken cooks, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
04 - In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Sauté garlic and red onion for 2 minutes until softened. Add cherry tomatoes and cook 3 to 4 minutes until just softened.
05 - Add cooked spaghetti, olives, and reserved pasta water to the skillet. Toss well to combine and heat through, adding more olive oil if needed.
06 - Remove skillet from heat. Stir in lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and chopped parsley. Add sliced chicken and half the feta, tossing gently.
07 - Divide among plates and sprinkle with remaining feta and extra parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
