Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water until al dente according to the packet. Reserve 100 ml cooking water before draining. Drain, rinse briefly under cold water and drain well.
Halve the cucumber lengthwise, scrape out the seeds and dice it. Halve the tomatoes. Finely dice the pepper and onion. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Crumble the feta.
Whisk oil, vinegar, mustard, parsley, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add pasta and 2 tablespoons cooking water, then mix well.
Fold in vegetables and chicken. Cover and chill for 20 minutes, then scatter with feta and serve. If the salad seems dry, add cooking water or oil one tablespoon at a time.
