Method

Hide images
step 1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Pat the chicken legs (1 pack) dry with kitchen paper and add to a large ovenproof dish. In a small bowl, mix a drizzle of olive oil with the Greek seasoning (2 tsp), and pour over the chicken legs to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper and roast for 35 minutes, turning halfway through.
step 2
Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and cook the pasta (300 g) for 10-12 minutes, according to the pack instructions.
step 3
While the chicken and pasta are cooking, prep the veg. In a small bowl, whisk together a good glug of olive oil (as needed), the Greek seasoning (1 tsp), lemon juice (1/2) and balsamic vinegar (2 tbsp).
step 4
Once the chicken legs have cooked, leave to cool slightly for 5 minutes, then shred with two forks (discarding the bones).
step 5
Drain the pasta and add to a large salad bowl with the shredded chicken, tomatoes (1 pack), cucumber (1/2), red onion (2) and Greek salad cheese (100 g).
step 6
Pour over the dressing and toss until everything is evenly coated. Serve warm or chilled.
step 6 Pour over the dressing and toss until everything is evenly coated. Serve warm or chilled.
