Greek Style Chickpea Pasta Salad with Chicken #Glutenfree

I heard about this chickpea pasta that was being sold at Costco a few months ago and picked up a package. I was very skeptical about using it, I had recently made a red lentil pasta that tasted like sidewalk chalk. This however, has a great taste and it's gluten free, hello. I will be using it for my pasta dishes moving forward. 

Ingredients.

2 Chicken Breasts- cut into small chunks less than 1"

1 Cup chopped fresh baby spinach

1/4 cup Sundried Tomatoes- chopped

1/2 cup Kalamata olives- chopped

1/4 lb Feta cheese- crumbled

Olive Oil -4 Tbl

Lemon Zest- from one lemon

1/2 Lemon -Juiced

1/4 Onion- finely chopped

1 box Barilla Chickpea Rotini- Cooked

Pignoli Nuts-1/3 cup (optional)

Salt and Pepper to taste

1. Add 1 Tbl of Olive Oil to a Saute pan. Add a few pinches of salt and pepper to the chicken and saute the chicken in a saute pan until lightly browned and cooked through.Cool.

2. Mix the remaining ingredients.

3.Serve cold or warm. Add pignoli nuts as a tasty little garnish.

This is a perfect picnic salad, maybe with a glass of white wine, definitely with a glass of white wine.You can heat through and serve this, as a one bowl, summer supper. The lemon zest in this salad  brings all the flavors to life. It's simple and easy to create and feeds 6-8 people easily. 

I hope you enjoy this recipe and share it with your friends.

With love and gratitude,
