Great recipe for a Potluck, quick and easy.

I love this recipe, but I make it without the chicken, use half the oil, and add 1/2 cup of kalmata olives (pitted and halved). So yummy!
Mr. Eric Jordan
I can make it for a potluck or a swimming pool party!

I make a bowl of this every week to have for my lunches.
It holds up for at least 5 days.
I use less pasta and use Barilla omega added,low glycemic to watch the carbs.
I also used 1/2 lb. Buffalo Tenders (from the deli) for a bit of a punch, and about 1/2 the oil.
My favorite….good with elbows too!
