Recipe courtesy of EatingWell.Com:

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast

8 oz. whole wheat fusili

3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

1 large shallot, thinly sliced

1/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth

1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

3 Tbsp. lime juice

1 Tbsp. chopped, fresh thyme

1 tsp. freshly grated lime zest

1/4 tsp. salt (optional)

  1. Place chicken in a skillet or saucepan and add enough water to cover; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently until cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board to cool. Shred into bite-size strips.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta until just tender, about 9 minutes or according to package directions. Drain. Place in a large bowl.
  3. Meanwhile, place oil and shallot in a small skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and just beginning to brown, 2 to 5 minutes. Add broth, feta and lime juice and cook, stirring occasionally, until the feta begins to melt, 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Add the chicken to the bowl with the pasta. Add the dressing, blueberries, thyme, lime zest and salt and toss until combined
