Cooking Instructions
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add 2 cups of rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions, about 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Drain the pasta in a colander and let it cool for a few minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of diced cooked chicken breast, 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes, 1 diced cucumber, 1 diced bell pepper, ½ cup of sliced Kalamata olives, 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese, ½ finely chopped red onion, and ¼ cup of chopped fresh parsley. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together ¾ cup of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar (or lemon juice), and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano. Whisk until combined.
- Pour the prepared dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture along with the cooled rotini pasta. Gently toss until the ingredients are evenly coated.
- Taste your Mediterranean Chicken Pasta Salad for seasoning and adjust with more salt, pepper, or vinegar if desired.
- Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors. Serve cold.
