Chicken Caesar Salad
Cardini’s original Caesar Salad dressing
1 Rotisserie chicken (we get ours at Costco) or 2 chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
3 heads of romaine lettuce
1 pkg bow tie pasta
1/2-3/4 c shredded parmesan cheese
8 oz slivered almonds
swiss cheese (thinly sliced and cut into strips)
Take rotisserie chicken off the bone and shred it. Set aside and let cool. Cook pasta, drain and chill. Sprinkle pasta with some of the dressing and add parmesan and swiss cheese. Chop up the romaine lettuce and place into a bowl. When ready to serve combine lettuce, chicken, and pasta. Add remaining dressing and toss. Sprinkle almonds over the top and enjoy.
