Instructions
- In a pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
- While the pasta cooks, fill another pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the chicken breast and poach for about 15-20 minutes until fully cooked. Remove the chicken and let it cool before slicing thinly.
- In the same pot, add the asparagus pieces and radish slices to the simmering water for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and cool under cold water.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, asparagus, radishes, and chopped parsley. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then season with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.
- Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
