GRILLED BBQ CHICKEN PASTA SALAD FOR A CROWD
I originally created this recipe with leftover BBQ chicken and stuff from my fridge and it's become my most requested recipe! I make this for just about any occasion and my relatives all request that I bring it to family birthday parties and get togethers. The cooking time reflects typical marinating and pasta cooking time. The prep time is the grilling and cutting time (it usually doesn't take that long). The salad isn't hard but it takes a little bit of prep time to get the best results. It's well worth it! This recipe is also very easy to prepare ahead of time. You can grill the chicken and cut the veggies one day and assemble it the next.
