CHICKEN PARMESAN PASTA SALAD
Penne pasta, Italian-breaded chicken slices, fresh mozzarella, grape tomatoes and kalamata olives dressed in a saucy tomato vinaigrette and topped with shredded Parmesan cheese. The recipe calls for packaged fully-cooked breaded chicken, but if you have the time I'd suggest preparing them fresh--Recipe #217144 looks like a good choice. You can even cut the chicken into slices before breading them. (Don't forget to add the oregano!) This pasta salad is hearty enough for dinner with a side of garlic bread. Recipe is adapted from Woman's World magazine.
