  3. Chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and parsley.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and parsley. Add feta cheese if using.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour over the salad mixture and toss gently.
  6. Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
