Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad

Another pasta salad. I can't get enough of them, you can save time by using a rotisserie chicken and store bought Caesar dressing.

Let's get started.

 

Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad

4 Chicken Breast, cut in half horizontally 

2 Tsp. Kosher Salt

1 1/2 Tsp. Freshly Ground Black Pepper

1 Tsp. Garlic Powder

1 Tsp. Onion Powder  

1 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce

Pasta Salad

1 Lb. Rotini Pasta, cooked according to package directions 

1/2 Cup Shaved Parmesan 

1/2 Cup Caesar Dressing  

Freshly Ground Black Pepper

1 Romaine Heart, roughly chopped

 

In a bowl add in the split chicken breast, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, and toss until the chicken is well coated.

Preheat your grill or grill pan and grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Then cut into bite sized pieces 

 

In a large bowl add in the drained and cooled pasta, chicken, lettuce, Parmesan cheese, Caesar dressing, and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper. Toss to coat. Add more dressing to your liking.

 

Serve and enjoy.
