Instructions
0 Prep the Ingredients: Dice the cucumber, bell pepper, and onion in bite size pieces. Cut the Cherry tomatoes in half. Make sure the chicken is cooked and diced or shredded. Set everything aside so it is ready to mix once the pasta is cooked. 1 Cook the Pasta: Cook your pasta according to package directions in well-salted water until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool it down quickly. [wprm-ingredient text="16 oz Rotini Pasta" uid="0"] 2 Add the First Layer: While the pasta is still slightly warm, stir in the frozen peas. The residual heat will gently thaw the peas. Next, add in the chicken and ranch dressing. Mix until everything is evenly coated and creamy.
