Zesty Lemon Herb Pasta Salad
Succulent grilled chicken and chilled chickpea pasta tossed with crisp vegetables in a vibrant, zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
2 oz chickpea rotini
1 tbsp pine nuts
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup arugula
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
0.25 cup cucumber
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp fresh parsley
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea rotini according to package directions, then drain and rinse with cold water.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Grill the chicken over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked, then let it rest before slicing into bite-sized strips.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped fresh parsley.
Add the chilled pasta, sliced chicken, arugula, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced cucumber to the bowl.
Toss all ingredients thoroughly until coated in the dressing and top with toasted pine nuts before serving.
