Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad
Ingredients (serves 2 meals or ~4 sides)
~8 oz short pasta
1 chicken breast
1 head romaine
1/4 cup creamy caesar dressing
1 teaspoon anchovy paste (optional)
oil/vinegar
2 tablespoons parmesan
Directions:
Cook the pasta and allow to cool.
While the pasta cools, chop the chicken and romaine.
Stir the pasta, romaine (if serving right away), and chicken with the dressing and a splash of oil and vinegar.
Sprinkle on the parmesan and pepper.
Enjoy!
This is so cravable. I love these flavors and this is a nice but gentle twist. Make it in advance and stir in the lettuce just before serving!
We love caesar and it works just as well with other greens – I packed it for a work lunch with arugula to toss in.
