BLT, Chicken and Pasta Salad

Cooking Instructions

Mix all dressing ingredients in a large serving bowl until blended.

Put chicken-breast halves in a 6-quart pot. Add just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered 8 to 10 minutes until chicken is no longer pink in center. Remove with tongs or slotted spoon to cutting board to cool.

Add enough water to the pot to cook the pasta. Bring to a boil, add pasta and cook 9 minutes or until firm-tender. Drain well.

While pasta boils, cook bacon in a skillet or microwave until crisp. Drain on paper towel then cut in small pieces.

Add hot pasta to dressing in bowl and toss to mix and coat.

Tear chicken in bite-size pieces and add to bowl along with the bacon, lettuce and tomato. Toss gently to mix.
