This recipe uses salad dressing to add flare to an ordinary pasta salad. It's great hot or cold and makes wonderful leftovers... if you manage to have any!
INGREDIENTS (for 4 servings):
- 1 pound rotini pasta
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed
- 1/4 cup Ranch-style salad dressing
- 1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian-style salad dressing
- 1 (4.25 ounce) can black olives, sliced
PREPARATION:
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add rotini pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
In a skillet over medium heat, place the cubed chicken and dab with ranch dressing. Pour enough Italian dressing into the skillet to cover the bottom of the pan. Cook the chicken until it is nice and brown.
Mix together pasta, chicken, black olives and Italian dressing (to taste). Serve hot or cold.
