GREEK-STYLE CHICKEN PASTA SALAD
Whenever I have leftover chicken breast or cooked turkey I always make this pasta salad it's a favorite in our house. I usually boil up the whole package of pasta shells, but no need to double the dressing recipe, it's enough for the whole package of pasta. Also, I always add in 2 medium chopped firm tomatoes to the salad. You will love this, it's almost like a Greek salad!

Steps:
- Cook pasta as directed until al dente, careful not to overcook the pasta, just until chewy and firm, but cooked; drain well.
- Rinse in cold water.
- Mix together all pasta ingredients in a bowl.
- Mix all dressing ingredients; add to pasta mixture; toss well to coat.
- Let sit in refrigerator for 2 or more hours before serving, to blend the flavours.
- Sprinkle more Feta cheese on top to garnish.
- ***NOTE*** since this is a big favorite in my house, I usually just cook up the entire package of pasta, and just increase the vegetable amounts, there is really no need to double the dressing ingredients if you should use the whole package of pasta, as the salad may become oily, but by all means it may certainly be doubled if desired. The bacon is optional, I rarely add it.

Tips:
- Use flavorful ingredients: Fresh herbs, spices, and vegetables will help your dish come alive with flavor. Don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations to find what you like best.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate protein that can easily become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook it until it is just cooked through, or to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a good quality pasta: The pasta is the foundation of your dish, so it's important to use a high-quality pasta that will hold its shape and flavor. Look for pasta that is made with durum wheat and has a slightly rough texture.
- Don't crowd the pasta: When you cook the pasta, make sure to use a large pot so that the pasta has plenty of room to move around. Crowding the pasta will make it sticky and clumpy.
- Add the sauce to the pasta, not the other way around: When you're combining the sauce and pasta, always add the sauce to the pasta, not the other way around. This will help the sauce to evenly coat the pasta.
Conclusion:
Greek Chicken Pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its flavorful chicken, tender pasta, and creamy sauce, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Greek Chicken Pasta a try.
