Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken, cooked and deboned
- 24 ounces, weight refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 2 heads Romaine lettuce, washed and excess water removed
- ~1 c Caesar salad dressing
- 1/3 c shredded Parmesan cheese, optional
Preparation
Cut chicken meat into bite sized pieces. Set aside while you prepare rest of salad.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add cheese tortellini. Cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain pasta and run cold water over it until the temperature of tortellini has cooled thoroughly to at least room temperature.
In a very large bowl, tear washed Romaine lettuce into bite sized pieces. Add chicken and tortellini, gently mixing to distribute all ingredients evenly. Starting with 1/2 cup Caesar dressing, stir until all salad pieces are coated with dressing. Garnish with desired amount of shredded Parmesan cheese.
