How to Make Greek Ziti

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, combine 1 cup chicken broth and 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Simmer over medium heat until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 4 minutes.
Add 1.5 cups cubed cooked chicken to the skillet. Cover and remove from heat. Let the chicken steam in the broth for 8 minutes.
While the chicken steams, cook 1 pound ziti in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package directions (about 13 minutes).
Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the chicken mixture.
Stir in 1 cup crumbled feta cheese, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
Stir until the feta cheese is melted and creamy.
Gently fold in 1 pint cherry tomatoes.
Transfer to a greased baking dish. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
