Ingredients to make Chicken Lettuce Pasta Salad:
- 2 chicken breasts
- 500 grams of colored ribbons
- 1 jar of olives or stuffed olives
- 12 cherry tomatoes
- 4 tablespoons of sweet corn
- Lettuce
- 1 handful of salt
- olive oil
- 1 splash of Vinegar
- 1 pinch of ground black pepper
How to make Chicken Lettuce Pasta Salad:
The first step in making this delicious Chicken and Lettuce Pasta Salad is to cook the pasta. To do this, bring a pot with plenty of water and a little salt to the boil and when it boils, cook the colored ribbons for approximately 8 minutes. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and reserve it for later mixed with a bit of oil so that it does not stick.
Next, cut the chicken breasts into cubes and brown them in a pan with a little oil while you make the pasta. You can season them beforehand so that they are more palatable and the pasta and chicken salad with lettuce is richer, or you can also boil them instead of frying them to make them healthier and lighter.
Then drain the sweet corn and stuffed olives with the help of a strainer and reserve it for later. Then cut the cherry tomatoes in half or if you prefer you can also leave them whole and then assemble the pasta salad with fried chicken breast.
Finally, wash the lettuce leaves and cut them into pieces by hand or with a knife. Then drain them well so they don’t release water into the Chicken Lettuce Pasta Salad.
And now all that remains is to assemble the pasta salad with chicken and lettuce by gathering all the ingredients and lining it to taste with a little oil and vinegar, or if you prefer, with an avocado mayonnaise, for example. Enjoy it!
Trick: Remember not to dress the pasta and chicken salad until the moment before you are going to serve it so that the lettuce does not get poached.
