Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 whole chicken breast skinless boneless
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ¾ tsp ground pepper
  • ¾ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 oz dry penne pasta
  • 1½ cup croutons
  • 3 cups romaine lettuce chopped
  • ¾ cup caesar dressing
  • ⅓ cup parmesan cheese grated

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breast with salt garlic powder and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet on medium heat add the chicken breast and sear on both sides until golden and cooked through for 8-10 minutes.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let cool then cut into cubes.
  4. Cook pasta according to package instructions and let cool.
  5. In a large bowl combine chicken cubes cooked pasta croutons lettuce caesar dressing and parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • If you want to make this even faster you can use a store-bought rotisserie chicken instead of making your own This way all you have to do is cook up some pasta and combine everything in a bowl If you’ve got the grill fired up you can grill the chicken instead Feel free to swap the chicken breasts for chicken thighs or chicken tenderloin if you prefer When cooking the pasta use enough water so once the pasta begins to expand there will still be plenty of room for the noodles to move freely As soon as you drop the pasta in the water stir it so the pasta doesn’t stick
