Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- While the pasta cooks, shred or dice the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, shredded chicken, and basil pesto. Fold gently until well-coated.
- Add halved cherry tomatoes and fresh mozzarella balls to the bowl and toss gently to combine.
- Drizzle olive oil and fresh lemon juice over the salad. Toss again to evenly coat everything.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for later use, stored in an airtight container.
