Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups uncooked tri-color rotini pasta
4 cups cubed cooked chicken breast
½ cup diced green bell pepper
¼ cup diced green onions

I'm not a big fan of cashews, so I used chopped peanuts instead. The pasta salad still turned out great! The dressing was light and flavorful, and the chicken was cooked to perfection.

I substituted grilled chicken for the boiled chicken and it turned out amazing! The smoky flavor of the grilled chicken really took this pasta salad to the next level.

This pasta salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less pineapple juice in the dressing. Otherwise, the recipe was easy to follow and the chicken was cooked perfectly.
