Fresh and Easy Chicken Pasta Salad

May 24, 2013 by Kaysi 1 Comment

Fresh and Easy Chicken Pasta Salad
It’s getting warmer and the days are getting longer, yay!  It’s time to start getting more healthy, working out and eating lighter foods.  I don’t about you, but when it’s super warm outside, I don’t want to have to do a lot of cooking.  I don’t want to spend an hour over the hot stove or have the oven going.  I also don’t love having really big and heavy meals.  I love having a nice and light meal.  And of course I like nice and easy meals that don’t take much time to cook.  Here is a great, healthy meal.  chicken pasta salad

The chicken that I used in the pasta is Tyson Grilled and Ready chicken.  This stuff is awesome.  It’s comes in several different flavors, refrigerated or frozen.  All of them looked so yummy, I decided to get the regular, southwestern and chicken fajitas.  For my whole Walmart shopping experience, go here.

The chicken is so easy to cook.  Just throw it in a skillet and heat it up for 3 to 5 minutes.  I love that it’s #GrilledandReady.

I cut up all of the veggies and then mixed all the ingredients in a large bowl.  Chill for an hour before serving.

It was so great!  It was great to leave the dinner table full but not feeling like I ate too much.  I love eating well and healthy!
