Whether you need the perfect dish to take to a summer barbecue or you’re just looking for a simple, healthy meal you can feed your whole family – I have you covered! This chicken pasta salad recipe tastes phenomenal and can be prepared in a matter of minutes. Combine that with full servings of delicious, fresh vegetables and you’ve got a recipe that everyone will be inquiring about!
I love preparing recipes with chicken. Chicken tastes delicious, can be prepared/seasoned/used in countless different ways, and is an excellent source for high-quality protein. However, one of the hardest things about these meals for me is that oftentimes you are required to have “cooked chicken” on hand. Sometimes it takes just as long to cook the chicken as it does to prepare the whole recipe!
Well you can imagine how completely stoked I was when I found these…
