This is an easy recipe that can be prepared ahead of time. Great for those hot summer days! Also good with a herb and garlic dressing, or a Caesar type dressing. If preparing ahead of time, mix all together just before serving. (allrecipes.com)
Ingredients:
- 3-4 chopped boneless chicken breasts
- Caesar or Italian Caesar salad dressing
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- handful of cherry tomatoes (optional)
- pimientos (optional)
- 4 cups Rotel pasta noodles
- 1 tsp. olive or vegetable oil
Steps:
- Cook chicken breasts until they are tender and chop into bite size pieces. Cook Rotel noodles in boiling water for 7 minutes or until tender in water with oil.
- Steam broccoli florets (over stove or in microwave) until slightly tender (do not overcook!). Cut tomatoes in halves and wash thoroughly.
- Mix noodles, chicken breasts, broccoli and optional ingredients (pimentos and tomatoes). Drizzle salad dressing until pasta is slightly covered and stir salad until covered in dressing. Serve either chilled or warm, accompanied by a bottle with extra dressing at table.
Note: Leftovers will keep in refrigerator for up to 4 days or can be frozen for a month or two.
