Description

A flavorful chicken salad with herbaceous pesto, juicy tomatoes, and creamy feta, perfect for a light meal or picnic.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1/2 cup pesto
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Combine the shredded cooked chicken in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Spoon 1/2 cup pesto over the shredded chicken.
  3. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and finely chopped red onion to the bowl and mix until distributed.
  4. Sprinkle the crumbled feta over the mixture and fold gently. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
