Chicken Souvlaki Pasta Salad

Pasta salads are the perfect meal for those crazy-hot summer days where taking any time to cook or bake anything is simply out of the question.

This recipe was inspired by just that - the heat! I really wanted chicken souvlaki wraps, but there was no way I was up for making some homemade tortillas. So this is what it turned into, and it was de!

Chicken Souvlaki Marinade

2 chicken breasts

Juice of 1 lemon

1 Tablespoon olive oil

2 garlic cloves minced

1 teaspoon oregano

1 teaspoon thyme 

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Chicken breasts may be diced, marinated then placed on skewers, or marinated and barbecued whole. 

Thoroughly mix all ingredients except for chicken in a bowl or large zip-top plastic bag. Then place chicken into bag and mix well, ensuring all chicken has been covered. Marinate in the refrigerator for 10-30 minutes. Barbecue until cooked through.

Pasta Salad

250g fusilli noodles

1 large tomato

1/2 large cucumber

1/4 cup thinly diced red onion

1 cup tzatziki sauce

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Cook noodles and rinse in cold water to cool.  Dice tomato, cucumber, and red onion. Place all ingredients, including cooked chicken into a large bowl and mix thoroughly. 

Enjoy!
