I love chicken, pasta, salad, and in fact caesar salad in my favorite salad. Here is a great recipe for Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad

Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad
Serves 4

1 pound of fusilli, penne or other short, tubular pasta
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups of mayo
1 oz of Parmesan cheese, grated, plus extra for serving
2 T lemon juice
1 T worcestershire sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
6 T olive oil
4 chicken breasts, skinless and boneless, trimmed
2 romaine lettuce hearts, grilled or not 

Bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil, add the pasta, and cook according to the boxes directions. Strain in a colander under cold water.


In a blender, add the mayo, Parmesan, lemon juice, Worcestershire, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Blend, and while blending slowly pour in the olive oil until thick.

Put the pasta in a large bowl, and add the sauce. Toss to cover the pasta.

Sear the chicken on both sides, until cooked.
Let the chicken rest on a cutting board tented with foil, for 5 minutes.

Put the lettuce on a plate. Top with the pasta. Top with chicken, and top with some extra Parmesan cheese.
