RECIPE BY Oxmoor House

Asparagus will work in place of the green beans, but be sure to cook the asparagus spears only 1 to 2 minutes or until crisp-tender.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups uncooked rotini (corkscrew pasta)

  • 2 cups diced cooked chicken breast (about 3/4 pound)
  • 1/4 cup (1 ounce) crumbled blue cheese
  • 1/4 cup Sun-Dried Tomato Vinaigrette

Awesome!! This was such a delicious, light, fast meal that I would make it every week. The sun-dried tomatoes, blue cheese and balsamic really make the flavors in this fantastic! I am so excited for this new CL cookbook!
