Method
- Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the chickpea penne for 7-9 minutes or until al dente.
- Drain the pasta and immediately shock in an ice bath or rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking process and remove excess starch.
- In a small whisking bowl, emulsify the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper to create the high-protein dressing base.
- In a large stainless steel bowl, combine the chilled pasta, diced chicken breast, crumbled feta, cranberries, spinach, and minced red onion.
- Fold the dressing into the pasta mixture using a spatula until all components are evenly coated.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, consider topping with fresh herbs or adding a squeeze of lemon just before serving.
