Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tsp chopped garlic
- 1/4 cup pepper sauce (I like Tapatio Mexican style hot sauce)
- 1 16oz box pasta (I like Barilla Campanielle)
- 8 oz Blue Cheese Dressing (I like Kraft Light Done Right! Roku Blue Cheese Dressing)
- 2 tbs Cesar salad dressing (I like Cardini's Cesar Dressing)
- 4 oz bleu cheese crumbles
- 2 tbsp onion, chopped
- Cyanne and black pepper to taste
- 2 tsp milk
- Celery to garnish
- Marinade chicken in garlic and hot sauce 2-4 hours, drain off 1/2 liquid. Cook chicken and remaining liquid in a covered frying pan over medium heat 15-20 minutes or until tender and cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan, let stand 5 minutes for juices to absorb. Slice into bite sized pieces and toss in additional pepper sauce to taste. Cover and chill.
- Cook pasta Al Dente, cover with ice water to stop the cooking, drain and set aside. In a large bowl, mix bleu cheese, both dressings, onion and pepper until blended. Add pasta and toss well. Cover and chill, preferably overnight.
- To serve, toss the pasta mixture with 2 tsp of milk to thin sauce, top with chicken and celery for garnish. Serve cold.
