Steps:

• Bring water to boil in a large pot and cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and place in a large bowl.
• While the water is boiling in step one, bring the oil over medium high heat in a large skillet. Add the garlic, ½ t basil, oregano and rosemary and stir into oil. Cook for about a minute until garlic is fragrant. Add the chicken to the pan and stir to coat chicken with the oil and herbs. Cook for 5-7 minutes until chicken is cooked completely through. Add the chicken and any remaining oil in the pan to the large bowl containing the pasta and toss together. Add the artichokes, sun dried tomatoes, olives, and tablespoon of basil to the pasta and toss again until ingredients are combined and set aside.

Add the milk in slowly, whisking ingredients together until flour clumps are thoroughly mixed in. Raise heat and bring to a simmer. Simmer for a minute or so until thickened and stir. Add in the feta cheese and hummus. Continue to whisk ingredients until feta is melted and sauce is smooth.
