Creamy Chicken Pasta Salad Recipe

Creamy Chicken Pasta Salad Recipe

  • 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1/4 cup steak sauce
  • 8 ounces fusilli pasta
  • 1 sweet onion, diced
  • 2 avocados – peeled, pitted and diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup ranch-style salad dressing
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  1. Brush chicken with steak sauce and marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and set aside to cool.
  3. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
  4. Place chicken on hot grill. Cover and cook until grill marks form, about 6-8 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 180 degrees F (80 degrees C). Set aside to cool, then cut into bite-size pieces.
  5. When ready to serve, mix pasta, chicken, onion, avocados, tomatoes and dressing in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
