Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad image

I tried this dish at a Pampered Chef Party and loved it. I love Caesar Salads and combined with the chicken and pasta it makes for a great dish to take to a potluck or just whenever you want something light. *You could substitute 1 (8 ounce) package of imitation crabmeat for the chicken to make it a Seafood version of the salad. Serve on a bed of romaine lettuce if desired.
