Steps:
- Cook the pasta according to the package directions, NOT al dente. You don't want it to be too gummy or too mushy. Drain in a colander and run COLD water over until it's completely cold. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Sprinkle the chicken breasts with lemon pepper. "Grill" the chicken breasts by whatever method you prefer. You may use a panini type grill, a barbecue grill, or simply bake in the oven. Your cooking times will vary based on your method, but just make sure the breasts are fully cooked by reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees, or when the juices run clear. Allow the chicken pieces to cool until you can handle them. Slice the chicken thinly, then cut slices in half so they are bite-sized. Spread out to cool completely while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
- Pour the dressing ingredients (mayo, oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper) into the bowl and whisk until incorporated.
- After the chicken and pasta are completely cooled, add all the remaining ingredients to the bowl and stir gently. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- TIPS: If the salad is too stiff after prolonged refrigeration, you can make it creamy again by stirring in a tiny bit of olive oil, milk or warm water. Gorgonzola cheese is similar to bleu cheese, but slightly milder. It is an acquired taste for some people, so feel free to use more or less to taste. I use MORE! For best results, don't substitute or omit ingredients. I usually try doing things to lower fat or calories, but in this case, the results will NOT be the same.

CHICKEN-GORGONZOLA PASTA SALAD
Found this recipe in a Betty Crocker Super Moist Cake booklet Spring 2008 issue (the kind you find at check-out). It sounded so good and would probably make a wonderful lunch or a feature for a bridal/baby shower. I haven't made this yet but it will be made very soon! You may cook up your own bacon if not using precooked bacon. Prep/Cook Time is an estimate. The original recipe indicates start to finish is 20 min.

CHICKEN, GORGONZOLA AND PEAR SALAD
Steps:
- In bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper to taste. Add chicken, walnuts and Gorgonzola cheese and toss lightly. Place greens on individual salad plates. Arrange sliced pears in fan shape along one side on top of greens. With slotted spoon, divide chicken mixture equally among plates. Drizzle any dressing remaining in bowl over pears and greens.
Tips:
- To ensure the best flavor, use high-quality gorgonzola cheese. Look for a cheese that is creamy and has a strong, pungent aroma. Avoid using pre-shredded cheese, as it often contains additives that can alter the taste and texture of the salad.
- Use a combination of cooked and raw chicken in the salad. This will give the salad a variety of textures and flavors.
- If you are using cooked chicken, be sure to shred it into small pieces. This will help it to evenly distribute throughout the salad.
- Add your favorite mix-ins to the salad. Some popular options include diced celery, red onion, hard-boiled eggs, and chopped walnuts.
- Dress the salad with a simple vinaigrette dressing. This will help to enhance the flavors of the chicken and gorgonzola cheese.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. It is best to consume the salad within a few days of making it.
Conclusion:
Gorgonzola chicken salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken and is also a good source of protein and calcium. With its creamy, tangy flavor, gorgonzola chicken salad is sure to become a favorite in your household.
