Pasta Chicken Salad





1/4 pound cooked spaghetti, cut into 2 inch long pieces


1 rib celery cut into 1/4-inch dice


1 scallion, cut into thin rounds


Small McIntosh apple, unpeeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch dice


4 pieces cooked bacon cut into pieces


1/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped


6 ounces smoked chicken breast, skinned and cut into pieces, 1/4 inch wide and 2-inches long


2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice


1 teaspoon dried tarragon


3 tablespoons mayonnaise, regular or low fat


2 to 3 tablespoons sour cream, regular or low fat


Washed Boston or Bibb lettuce leaves





In the bottom of a mixing bowl combine the spaghetti, celery, half the amount of scallion, apple, walnuts, bacon, and chicken. Now make a dressing of lemon juice, tarragon, mayonnaise and sour cream. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper and add to salad. Toss to combine, adjust seasoning. Serve over lettuce and garnish with remaining scallion.Have you a Chicken Pasta Recipe Please?
I have a great one. I marinade chicken in Caesar dressing for about a day. I then grill it and cut it up. I make tri-colored pasta and add frozen stir fry veggies to that (not cooked - just thawed). Mix it all up and add about another bottle of Caesar dressing and some Parmesan/Romano cheese. Just keep in mind that once the pasta cools it will suck up a ton of the dressing, so I keep a little extra for that purpose. Plus you can use whatever veggies you want to that.





The next recipe I have calls for breakfast sausage, but I have substituted chicken, pork and shrimp.

Chicken-Pasta Primavera





4 ounces uncooked fettuccine


1 cup broccoli flowerets


1/2 cup 1/4-inch strips carrot


1 teaspoon olive or vegetable oil


1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/2-inch strips


1 garlic clove, finely chopped


1/3 cup ranch dressing


2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese


1 teaspoon shredded fresh basil leaves or 1/8 teaspoon dried basil leaves





1. Cook and drain fettuccine as directed on package--except add broccoli and carrot 1 minute before fettuccini is done.


2. While fettucine is cooking, heat oil in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken and garlic in oil 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until chicken is no longer pink in center; remove from heat.


3. Stir dressing, cheese and basil into chicken. Toss with fettucine and vegetables.
This is a really simple yummy pasta salad. Cook rotini pasta til done. Cook 3 chicken breasts any way you want. Pan fry, grilled, or in a pinch even canned white meat chicken chunks. 1 small bag broccoli florets just til tender not mushy. Cut chicken,(and broccoli if needed) into bite size pieces. Mix with rotini and let cool. Mix in a bottle of prepared poppy seed salad dressing. (Brianna brand is the best.) Kind of sweet and savory. A one bowl meal especially refreshing on a hot summer afternoon.
