Grilled Chicken Pasta Salad with Cherry Tomatoes and Arugula
Enjoy a fresh and vibrant salad featuring tender grilled chicken, hearty whole wheat pasta, and a burst of flavor from sweet cherry tomatoes and peppery arugula. Dressed in a light lemon and olive oil vinaigrette, this dish is both satisfying and balanced.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz grilled chicken breast
1 cup cooked whole wheat pasta
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
1 cup arugula
1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Once done, let it rest before slicing into strips.
While the chicken is grilling, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, halved cherry tomatoes, and arugula.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create the dressing.
Add the sliced chicken to the pasta salad and drizzle the dressing over the top. Gently toss to combine all ingredients.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for a chilled salad option.
