# How-To Steps:
01 - Slice chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko, Parmesan, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge each chicken piece first in flour, then egg, then the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
03 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and toss with 1 tbsp olive oil to prevent sticking.
04 - In a large bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, feta, and parsley.
05 - Whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pour over the salad and toss gently.
06 - In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked pasta and Greek salad mixture. Toss well. Top with crispy chicken bites. Garnish with extra feta and parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
