Chicken-Pasta Salad
Another Momcat Recipe!

1 and 1/2 pounds boned, skinless chicken breast
12 oz package 3 color pasta twirls
Wishbone Italian salad dressing
1 bunch celery - sliced
3 small tomatoes - chopped and most of the moisture squeezed out. (I do this by just grabbing small handfuls of the chopped tomatoes and squeezing them gently over the sink ..this keeps the salad from being watery)
1 bunch green onions - sliced
Parmesan cheese

Place chicken in a skillet and cover thinly with some of the Italian dressing. Cover and cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate to cool.

Cook the pasta according to package directions, drain, and remove to a large serving bowl.

Add the vegetables to the pasta. When chicken has cooled, dice and add to the pasta and vegetables. Mix well.

Then, measure 1 cup of the salad dressing and pour over the salad. Mix well. Add more dressing as desired to taste.

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese to taste and mix.

Serve well chilled.

This is wonderful on a hot day and also is an impressive luncheon dish, especially if served in a clear glass bowl (I've actually put it in a trifle dish before...looks really good)
