Instructions
- Cook the chicken: Toss the chicken breast in olive oil and the seasoning blend. Air fry for 12-15 minutes at 375ºF until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF. Let the chicken rest at least 5 minutes before dicing.
- Cook the pasta in a pot of salted boiling water just shy of al dente before draining and rinsing with cold water. (I cooked Brami protein pasta for 8 minutes.)
- Mix the dressing ingredients together before adding to the cooked pasta. Add the parmesan, cooked and diced chicken breast, and chopped spinach, parsley, and artichoke. Toss everything together and season with salt and black pepper.
- Serve fresh or store in airtight containers for up to 2-3 days.
💡 Notes & Tips
- TJ's aglio olio seasoning contains 1,380mg sodium per tablespoon and is made from minced garlic, sea salt, dried parsley, dried bell pepper, and chili pepper. A garlic pepper, lemon pepper, or some type of garlicky Italian seasoning should all work fine as replacements. Just keep an eye on the salt content to not overdo it.
- You can swap the air fried chicken breast for about 6 oz of grilled chicken, pulled rotisserie chicken, or other cooked proteins.
- Recipe adapted from Sara Haven's pasta salad.
- While the recipe calls for baby spinach and parsley, other leafy greens like kale and herbs like basil would work well. The artichokes are optional but add volume, fiber, and flavor.
