Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and roast for 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from oven and let cool slightly. (30 minutes)

03

Step

Once cool enough to handle, cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the farfalle pasta and cook according to package directions, about 8-10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain the pasta and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. (15 minutes)

05

Step

In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, pasta, shrimp, olives, cherry tomatoes, carrots, and cucumber. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Pour the balsamic vinegar over the salad and gently toss to coat. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Add the crumbled feta cheese and salt-free seasoning blend. Toss gently to combine, being careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)

08

Step

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. (30 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try marinating the chicken breasts in Italian dressing for at least 30 minutes before baking.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as bell peppers or red onion, according to your preferences.
If you don't have salt-free seasoning blend, you can use a combination of dried herbs, such as oregano, basil, and thyme.
This salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
