How to Make

  • Step 1: On a baking tray, cook chicken in 325F oven for approximately 10 minutes. Cut into 1/2 inch pieces. Set aside.

  • Step 2: In a large pot, bring 12 cups water and 1 tablespoon salt to a full boil. Add pasta and cook for approximately 10 minutes in boiling water until al dente (soft, but still firm).

  • Step 3: Immediately strain pasta and flash cool in cold water. Drain water completely. Coat pasta with 2 tablespoon olive oil to prevent sticking.

  • Step 5: Combine chicken, pasta, dressing, carrots, cucumbers, celery and cilantro and mix to evenly coat with dressing.

  • Step 6: Chill for at least 2 hours. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
