This is one of my own creation. We like it as a light summer meal.
3 C. cooked pasta -- shells, spirals, or macaroni
1 1/2 C. diced cooked chicken breast
1 C. broccoli florets, steamed and cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 C. diced red pepper
1 C. diced sharp Cheddar cheese
1/4 C. diced sweet onion
1/4 C. slivered almonds
3/4 C. creamy Italian dressing
Mix all ingredients together, and chill. Before serving, add additional Italian dressing to moisten if necessary. Makes 4 generous servings.What are some pasta recipes with pasta and chicken or turkey breast with an olive oil or Italian dressing?
this is awsome i think she will love this recipe
grill the chicken breast how you normaly would
cooked pasta as usual
sauce
3 tomatoe grilled just put on an open skillet and darken 4 sides remove then do this with green peppers ,onions and garlic,,
finish cooking the tomatoes on an open plate in the microwave 5 min
blend the garlic and tomatoes in the blender till sort of chunky
just pluse it ,,remove add a bit of water to remove the last of it this is all you would need of water less than a 1/4 cup
add chopped fresh celantro or flat leaf italian parsly chopped as much as you like salt to taste
put the pasta on the plate,add the grilled chicken sliced , lay the grilled onions and green peppers then top with the fresh tomatoe sauce
the above tomatoe recipe is the basis to salsa you can jazz it up with jalapino roasted along with the tomatoes if you like hot or bananna peppers for mild and pour it over the spagetti yumm
this is good over grilled meats ,tacos,salmon or any fish ,a few spoons in soup realy make it good as well or over rice veggies it just works well with lots of things
yummy its so good and low fat too
