This Greek chicken pasta salad is a fresh, Mediterranean-inspired dish made with bowtie pasta, juicy chicken, crisp veggies, feta cheese, and a zesty homemade dressing.

Ingredients

Salad:

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/2 tablespoon olive oil

16 oz farfalle pasta, cooked according to package directions

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup cucumber, diced or thinly sliced

1/4 cup red onion, diced

1/4 cup pepperoncini, thinly sliced

1/3 cup kalamata olives, halved

3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Dressing:

1/2 cup olive oil

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon lemon juice (juice from 1 lemon)

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Cook the chicken: Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Rub chicken with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 6–7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest, then dice into bite-sized pieces.

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.

Make the dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine cooked pasta, chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, pepperoncini, olives, and feta.

Pour dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.

Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.

Notes

Make it vegetarian by skipping the chicken or substituting with chickpeas.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Perfect for BBQs, meal prep, or easy weekday lunches.

Add extra lemon juice or red wine vinegar if serving after refrigeration for a flavor boost.
