Method

Fill a stockpot with water and bring to a boil over high heat.

Add the chicken to the boiling water, cover, and return to a boil.

Boil the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat, and let the chicken steep, covered, until the chicken is no longer pink in the thickest part of the breast, 10 to 12 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to a plate and let cool for approximately 20 minutes. The chicken can be prepared a day ahead.

Cook the penne pasta according to package directions in salted boiling water. Drain thoroughly.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine tomatoes, onions, dill, parsley, olive oil and pepper.

Slice the cooked, cooled, chicken into 2-inch pieces.

Add the chicken, feta and hot pasta to the tomato mixture.

Gently toss to incorporate. Season to taste.
