Chicken Pasta Salad

yields 8-10 servings

You will need:
3-4 chicken breasts
1 box prepared and cooled penne pasta
2 C. caesar salad dressing
1 bunch washed and cut romaine lettuce
1 C. Parmesan cheese

Cut the chicken into bite sized cubes. Cook in medium skillet with 1tbs. butter. Once cooked, set aside to cool. In large bowl combine the cooled pasta (best way to cool it is to run under cold water after cooking), romaine lettuce, and cheese. Once chicken is cooled, add to the pasta/lettuce mix and coat with caesar dressing.

This makes a great leftover because it doesn't need to be heated if you're in a hurry. Make sure to cover tightly in air tight container so the lettuce will not wilt.
