Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 cups uncooked fusilli pasta
  • 5 strips bacon (cut into small pieces)
  • 1/2 medium red onion (chopped)
  • 2 cups cooked chicken ((I used rotisserie chicken))
  • 1 dry pint grape tomatoes (halved)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing ((use my recipe or bottled))
  • Fresh parsley (chopped, to taste (optional))

Instruction

  • If making my ranch dressing, do that first and then keep it in the fridge until you're ready to use it. 
  • Boil a large, salted pot of water for the pasta. Cook according to package directions and rinse pasta under cool water once it's cooked. Let it drain thoroughly.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon until crispy. I cut it up using kitchen shears to make it easy.
  • Prep your onion, chicken, tomatoes, and parsley (if using), and add them to a large salad bowl. Add the pasta and bacon when they're ready to go.
  • Toss with the dressing (start with 1/2 cup and add more if needed) and season with salt & pepper if needed. Serve immediately or chill first.
