Creating Mediterranean Chicken Pasta Salad can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by boiling the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

2. Cook the Chicken: If you’re not using pre-cooked chicken, season chicken breast with salt, pepper, and half of the dried oregano. Grill or sauté until fully cooked (about 6-8 minutes per side). Allow it to cool, then shred it into bite-sized pieces.

3. Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, and parsley.

4. Add the Pasta and Chicken: Once the pasta has cooled, add it along with the shredded chicken to the vegetable mixture.

5. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, the remaining oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

6. Combine: Pour the dressing over the pasta salad and toss gently to combine. Ensure everything is well-coated in the dressing.

7. Taste and Adjust: Adjust seasoning as necessary with more salt, pepper, or vinegar according to your preference.

8. Chill: For best results, refrigerate the salad for at least 15 minutes before serving so the flavors can meld together.
