Ingredients
  

8 oz rotini pasta

1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded (store-bought rotisserie works great!)

1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup Caesar dressing

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

½ cup croutons

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

    Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, shredded chicken, chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and Caesar dressing. Toss gently to ensure everything is well coated.

      Add Cheese and Season: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste. If you like it extra cheesy, feel free to add more cheese!

        Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual bowls. Top with croutons for added crunch and texture. If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color.

          Enjoy: Serve immediately while chilled, or refrigerate for about 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving. Enjoy your refreshing Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad!
