The ingredients for Zesty Italian Chicken Pasta Salad are:

4 cups uncooked pasta (to make it fun for kids to eat, I put several different kinds of pasta together, such as rotini, bow tie pasta, elbow macaroni, small shells, etc.)
2 chicken breasts, cooked and diced
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 cucumber, peeled and diced
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup Zesty Italian salad dressing

Here is how you make Zesty Italian Chicken Pasta Salad:

1. Cook pasta, drain, and cool. (I put a little olive oil to keep pasta from sticking together.)2. While pasta is cooking, cook chicken in pan or indoor grill, being sure to drain grease. Cool chicken.3. Prepare tomatoes and cucumbers.4. When noodles and chicken are cool, toss all ingredients together and chill for longer.Serves about 12.(Cook's note: You could easily turn this into a Greek-style salad by changing the dressing to an oil-and-vinegar dressing and adding olives.)Number of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SCBINGLERS.
