Bistro Chicken Pasta
2 Chicken Breast (Grilled)
1 lb. Pennie or Rigatoni (Cooked)
1 C. Cherry Tomato's (Quartered and sauteed)
1 C. Shredded Parmesan Cheese
1/2 C. Italian Dressing
1/3 C. Basil Leaves (Cut into thin strips)
1) Toss and enjoy Hot or Cold
Doran loved this and that is saying a lot due to the main ingredient being pasta. To make it a little healthier I used fat free Italian dressing. You could also use less chicken if you want. Very yummy but a little pricey with the Parmesan and the tomato's if you could get them on sell if would be perfect.
