GREEK-STYLE CHICKEN PASTA SALAD
Whenever I have leftover chicken breast or cooked turkey I always make this pasta salad it's a favorite in our house. I usually boil up the whole package of pasta shells, but no need to double the dressing recipe, it's enough for the whole package of pasta. Also, I always add in 2 medium chopped firm tomatoes to the salad. You will love this, it's almost like a Greek salad!

Steps:
- Cook pasta as directed until al dente, careful not to overcook the pasta, just until chewy and firm, but cooked; drain well.
- Rinse in cold water.
- Mix together all pasta ingredients in a bowl.
- Mix all dressing ingredients; add to pasta mixture; toss well to coat.
- Let sit in refrigerator for 2 or more hours before serving, to blend the flavours.
- Sprinkle more Feta cheese on top to garnish.
- ***NOTE*** since this is a big favorite in my house, I usually just cook up the entire package of pasta, and just increase the vegetable amounts, there is really no need to double the dressing ingredients if you should use the whole package of pasta, as the salad may become oily, but by all means it may certainly be doubled if desired. The bacon is optional, I rarely add it.

GREEK STYLE PASTA
This is very easy to make and has a nice presentation when served on a large platter. It is very colorful. The chicken broth is optional. I prefer it without, finding that the liquid from the artichokes, tomatoes, lemon and oil is just enough.

- Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, or thyme will brighten up the flavor of your pasta salad.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in Greek cooking. Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
- Season to taste: Don't forget to season your pasta salad with salt and pepper. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of red wine vinegar.
