Grilled Chicken Pasta Salad Recipe


"My local supermarket deli carried a great pasta salad but kept the recipe a secret," says Leanne Royce of Appleton, Wisconsin. "I was determined to duplicate it at home and created this version."

This recipe is:

Quick

 

 


    * 2 Servings
    * Prep/Total Time: 25 min.

Ingredients

    * 1 cup uncooked rigatoni or large tube pasta
    * 1 boneless skinless chicken breast half (6 ounces)
    * 1/4 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
    * 1 cup fresh broccoli florets
    * 1/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper
    * 1/4 cup chopped red onion
    * 1/4 cup Parmesan peppercorn ranch salad dressing
    * 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
    * 1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice

Directions

    * Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, sprinkle the chicken with lemon-pepper.
    * Using long-handled tongs, dip a paper towel in cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 7-8 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 170°. Cut into 1-in. cubes.
    * Drain pasta. In a large bowl, combine the pasta, chicken, broccoli, red pepper, red onion, salad dressing, cheese and lemon juice; toss to coat. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until serving. Yield: 2 servings.
