Ingredients

  • 1- 1 1/2 Lb Chicken Breast
  • 1-2 C Diced grape Tomatoes
  • 1 C Diced Onion
  • 1-2 C Diced Cucumbers
  • 1 C Shredded Cheese
  • 1/4-1/3 C Precooked Bacon
  • 1/2 Box Pasta, cooked and rinsed with cold water
  • 1 1/2 C Non-fat Greek Yogurt
  • 2 T Mayonnaise
  • 1 Pckt Ranch seasoning, or homemade, to taste

Instructions

  • Slice your chicken breasts into long pieces (I cut them into 3 or 4 pieces). Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and ranch.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, place your chicken breast. Season the other side of the chicken while in the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes (this is going to depend on the thickness of the chicken).
  • Flip the chicken. top with a large lid. Cook for about 5 more minutes.
  • Cook and rinse your pasta. I like to cook the pasta in salted water.
  • Dice your chicken into pieces. I made them pretty small.
  • Add the pasta salad ingredients to a bowl (use a big enough bowl, I clearly did not).
  • Mix yogurt, mayo, and ranch seasoning. Add to bowl. Taste and see if you need to add more seasonings.
  • Serve as desired. I placed ours on a bed of lettuce and drizzled with a little light ranch.
