Ingredients
- 1 dry pint Pure Flavor® Bumbles® Yellow Grape Tomatoes, quartered
- 4 bacon slices
- 1 green onion, minced and divided
- 1.5 lbs chicken breast, diced into bite-size pieces
- 1 lb ziti pasta, cooked to package instructions
- 3 cups fresh spinach, thinly sliced
- ½ cup ranch salad dressing
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp pepper
Directions
Step 1
Add the oil, sea salt, garlic, onion powder, and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the diced chicken and stir to sit for 5 minutes. Place the chicken in a grill basket.
Step 2
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. In a large skillet cook the bacon until crisp. Let it cool on a paper towel-lined plate, then crumble it into small pieces.
Step 3
Cook chicken for 12-15 minutes, rotating every few minutes for even cooking. When the chicken is done, add it to a plate to cool.
Step 4
Build your salad by adding the cooked pasta to a large serving bowl. Then add the chicken, tomatoes, spinach, bacon, and half the green onion.
Step 5
Drizzle with ranch dressing and the remaining green onion, toss, and enjoy!
Pro Tip
For optimal flavor marinate chicken for up to 24 hours in the fridge.
