Grilled Chicken Bow Tie Pasta Salad


Ingredients:
1 (12 oz) package bow tie (farfalle) pasta, uncooked
2 cups fresh broccoli florets
2-3 grilled chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces (or you could use a rotisserie chicken or any kind of cooked chicken you have available)
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes OR 1 large tomato cut into chunks
green pepper, cut into small pieces 
1/2 of a 16 oz bottle of Italian salad dressing (we love Wishbone Robusto Italian)
4 oz of Colby Jack cheese, cut into tiny bite size pieces
1 small can of sliced black olives
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

(You could also add any other fresh vegetables that you have on hand. Anything goes!) 

Directions:
Cook pasta as directed on package, adding broccoli to the cooking water to the last 2 minutes. Drain water. Toss chicken, tomatoes, pepper, cheese, dressing, and olives together in a large bowl. Add pasta and broccoli, toss lightly. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.
