Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a pan, add chicken breast, a stick of butter, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt. Cook the chicken until done, then remove it from the pan.

Add 2 containers of cherry tomatoes to the pan with the oil.

Drizzle 1/4 cup of olive oil over the tomatoes.

Add 2 tablespoons of Italian seasoning and 1 tablespoon of salt to the tomatoes.

Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of black pepper over the mixture.

Coat the tomatoes well with the seasonings using a spoon.

Add 4 blocks of cream cheese throughout the tomatoes.

Add crumbled feta cheese on top of the tomatoes and cream cheese.

Mix in any remaining seasoning from the chicken.

Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until the cheeses are melted and the tomatoes are soft.

While the mixture is baking, cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.

Once the baking is done, stir the mixture to combine the melted cheeses and tomatoes.

Add the cooked pasta to the baking dish and mix well.
