INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
0.5 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
0.5 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Baby Spinach
0.25 cup Cucumber
1 oz Feta Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Dried Oregano
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or a minimal amount of olive oil.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and half of the dried oregano.
Cook the chicken breast in the skillet for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden on the outside. Let it rest, then slice into strips.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, baby spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and crumbled feta cheese.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, fresh parsley, and the rest of the oregano to create a zesty dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all ingredients.
Top the salad with the sliced chicken breast, and serve either warm or at room temperature.
