Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 3 cups bow tie pasta, cooked, drained, and cooled
  • 2 chicken breasts, cooked and chopped
  • 1 caesar salad bag mix of choice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add pasta and cook until tender with a bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, drain again, and set aside to cool.
  2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, and cook chicken for 4 minutes; flip and cook until no longer pink at the center and juices run clear, 3 to 4 minutes more. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Add bow ties, chicken, Caesar salad kit (with all enclosed dressing, bacon, Parmesan, and crouton packets) to a large bowl. Gently toss until everything is coated with dressing. Serve immediately.
