Recipe

now that the warm weather is here and we are going to lots of BBQ's, i thought i would share one of my favorite dishes. i actually made it for dinner tonight for our family since Carter had a t-ball game this evening, and i was able to make it earlier in the day. it's quick, easy and yummy!!!

Greek Pasta Salad w/ Grilled Chicken

Ingredients - bow tie pasta, chicken tenderloins, grape tomatoes, english cucumber, feta cheese, and good seasoning italian salad dressing mix

marinate 1 lb. chicken tenders in a light caesar salad dressing (non-creamy)
boil pasta - i use 1/2 a box if it is for my family, or a whole box if i am bringing it to a cook-out. i like using the bow tie, but you could use anything.
make Good Seasonings Italian Salad Dressing and chill.
grill chicken, while chicken is grilling, cut tomatoes and cucumber. when chicken is done, cut into bite size pieces.
when pasta is finished, drain and run under cold water.
mix cooked pasta with salad dressing, veggies, chicken and feta cheese. add as much of the veggies, feta and dressing as you like.
chill the pasta salad for a couple of hours before serving.

*for main dish, add more chicken :)
