Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 pound pasta (such as rotini or farfalle)
  • 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup croutons
  • For the Dressing:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. While pasta is cooking, season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-fry until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Let cool slightly, then dice.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Add the cooked pasta, chopped romaine lettuce, diced chicken, and croutons to the bowl with the dressing.
  5. Toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
  6. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra touch of flavor, grill the chicken with a little garlic powder and paprika.
  • You can add other vegetables like cherry tomatoes or red onion for more color and crunch.
  • If you prefer a lighter dressing, you can substitute some of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt.
