Cooking Steps
Step 1
Cook penne according to package directions.
Step 2
Meanwhile, set a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tbsp (30 mL) dressing, chicken and oregano; stir-fry until golden and no pink remains. Remove to a plate. Add 2 tbsp (30 mL) additional dressing, onions and peppers to skillet; stir-fry until tender-crisp.
Step 3
Add hot cooked penne, chicken and remaining dressing; toss to combine. Sprinkle with feta and olives (if using) to serve.
Tips
- Replace the chicken breast with slices of steak or pork tenderloin.
- Prepare a vegetarian variation using rinsed and drained chickpeas or cannellini beans, sold in cans, and omitting the meat cooking step.
- Leftovers are just as delicious served cold and are easy to take to school or the office. Add a small amount of vinaigrette to enhance the dish when you have it.
- For best results, do not use salad dressings that contain large pieces of feta cheese.
