Grilled Chicken Pasta Salad with Cherry Tomatoes and Arugula
Tender grilled chicken and chickpea pasta tossed with juicy cherry tomatoes and fresh arugula in a zesty lemon vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
3.5 oz Grilled Chicken Breast
2 oz Chickpea Pasta (dry weight)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
1 cup Fresh Arugula
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
1 clove Garlic, minced
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
Drain the pasta and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it down.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and dried oregano, then grill over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into bite-sized strips or cubes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and minced garlic to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, grilled chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, and fresh arugula.
Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
