ROASTED CHICKEN AND BOW TIE PASTA SALAD (LOW FAT)

Roasted Chicken and Bow Tie Pasta Salad (Low Fat) image

This is such a delicious salad to take to work for a low-fat lunch, or for any time...purchase the chicken all ready cooked at your deli to save time...I always prepare a large batch of this salad, keep it in the fridge (it even tastes better the second or third day) and take it to work on a plastic container. Try not to omit the toasted nuts, as they seem to give the salad so much extra flavor...you are sure to enjoy this! (prep time includes refrigeration time).

This recipe is a fail. The chicken was tough and the pasta salad was tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken was dry and the pasta salad was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add my own personal touches. I usually add some chopped celery and red onion to the pasta salad, and I sometimes use a different type of dressing.

I'm not a big fan of bow-tie pasta, so I used penne instead. The salad was still delicious and everyone loved it.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth the effort. The roasted chicken is incredibly flavorful and the pasta salad is the perfect complement.

This chicken and pasta salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I usually make a big batch of roasted chicken on the weekend and then use it to make this salad during the week.

This is my new favorite chicken recipe! It's so easy to make and the results are always perfect. The chicken is always juicy and flavorful, and the pasta salad is always a hit.

I love that this recipe uses low-fat ingredients, but it still tastes amazing. The chicken is moist and flavorful, and the pasta salad is light and refreshing.
