For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken in Italian dressing for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Feel free to substitute your favorite vegetables! Zucchini, yellow squash, or red bell peppers would all be delicious additions. This salad tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have time to meld together. Prepare it ahead of time for easy entertaining!

Follow The Directions
01
Step
8 mins
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Add broccoli florets and asparagus to the boiling water during the last 5 minutes. Drain, and run under cold water to cool.
02
Step
5 mins
In a large serving bowl, stir together the diced chicken, kidney beans, black olives, green pepper, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese and Italian dressing. Stir in the pasta, broccoli and asparagus. Season with salt and pepper to taste. I like it pretty heavy on the pepper. This salad is best if chilled for a couple of hours before serving.
