Greek Chicken Pasta Salad

Sugar Land, TX(Zone 9a)

This is my absolute favorite pasta. Serve warm or chilled.

Basil Pesto (may use purchased)
1 cup fresh basil
10 large spinach leaves
2 - 3 large cloves garlic
1/2 c. fresh parsley
1 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1 cup pine nuts
1 c. good quality olive oil (may need to use more if too dry)

Puree all ingredients in food processor or blender.

Chicken
2 - 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/3 bottle Greek Salad Dressing

Marinate the chicken in the salad dressing several hours or overnight. Grill or saute until done. Cut into slices.

Pasta
1 pkg. Penne pasta
1 can quartered artichoke hearts, drained
1 small can chopped black olives, drained
1 jar, sun dried tomatoes, packed in oil, drained and julienned
1 pkg. Feta cheese (I like the sun dried tomato and basil)
Chicken
Basil Pesto
Greek Salad Dressing

Boil pasta according to package directions. Toss all ingredients and serve! This is great for a crowd or a potluck.
