Begin by boiling the fusilli pasta in a large pot of salted water until it reaches a perfect al dente texture. Drain the pasta and run it under cold water to stop the cooking process.

In a spacious bowl, mix together the cooled pasta, shredded chicken, grape tomatoes, bell pepper, green onions, black olives, goat cheese, and fresh basil.

In a separate small bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, thyme, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the mixture is well blended.

Drizzle the dressing over the pasta mixture and gently fold everything together until all ingredients are coated.

Let the pasta bowl sit for about 30 minutes at room temperature or in the fridge to enhance the flavors.

Serve chilled or at a pleasant room temperature for a refreshing meal.
