Lemon-Herb Chicken Pasta Salad
Tender grilled chicken tossed with protein-rich chickpea pasta and crisp garden vegetables in a bright, zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
2 oz chickpea pasta
0.5 cup cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp red onion
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tsp fresh dill
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain and rinse with cold water.
Season the chicken breast with half of the sea salt and black pepper, then grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked.
While the chicken rests, finely dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and mince the red onion, parsley, and dill.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and the remaining sea salt and black pepper to create the dressing.
Slice the rested chicken into bite-sized strips and combine in a large bowl with the cooled pasta, chopped vegetables, and fresh herbs.
Pour the lemon-herb vinaigrette over the salad and toss thoroughly to ensure every ingredient is coated before serving.
