Notes

  • *Nutritional label does not include dressing.
  • Make Ahead Instructions: The chicken can be cooked and all the ingredients can be chopped ahead of time. Wait to add the dressing until ready to serve.
  • Storing Instructions: This creamy chicken pasta salad is best served fresh, but it will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for a day or two. To make it work for meal prep I'd suggest storing the lettuce separately, and mixing it in just before eating.
  • Dressing - You can make homemade Caesar dressing, or buy a good quality creamy Caesar dressing from the store. I like Newman's Own or Marzetti brand.
  • Gluten-free Adaptations: use gluten-free penne pasta, Caesar's dressing, and croutons.
