Boil the macaroni elbows, or whatever shape you prefer, until soft.


Rinse with cold water to prevent stickiness, %26amp; then let drain well.


Use de-boned cooked chicken breast %26amp; thigh meat cubed.


Dice celery, green onions, sweet peppers (any colour), for crunch.


Add green peas, grated carrot, broccoli florets, sliced asparagus, etc.


Quantities are not critical, use whatever you like, mix with mayo.


You can add a little mustard or other salad dressing for some bite.Does anyone know of a yummy chicken and pasta salad recipe..?
