Ingredients

6 servings

8 ounces whole wheat fusilli pasta (or your favorite pasta shape)
12 ounces chicken breast
1 romaine lettuce heart (chopped (about 8 ounces))
1 pint cherry tomatoes (or grape tomatoes, halved)
3/4 cup croutons
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 batch Homemade Caesar Dressing

Steps

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain into a colander. Rinse under cold water, then shake off as much excess water as possible. Set aside to cool.
Cut up some leftover cooked chicken breasts into bite-size pieces (or cook the chicken breasts according to this method for how to cook shredded chicken).
Prepare the Homemade Caesar Dressing, if necessary.
Shake out the pasta once more, then add the pasta to a large serving bowl. Top with the chicken, romaine, tomatoes, croutons, and Parmesan. Drizzle with Caesar dressing and toss to combine. Enjoy cold or at room temperature.
