Ingredients Needed For Our Grilled Chicken Bow Tie Pasta Salad Recipe:

• Farfalle pasta

• Boneless skinless chicken breasts (cooked and cubed)

How To Make Our Grilled Chicken Bow Tie Pasta Salad Recipe:

Begin making this easy pasta salad by making the pasta according to the directions on the package.

In the last two minutes of the pasta boiling, add in the broccoli with the noodles, and let it cook with the pasta.

Once the timer is up, drain the noodles and broccoli and set it aside for now.

Then, cut up the cooked chicken breasts, cherry tomatoes, green bell pepper, and colby jack cheese.

After all of that is cut up, put the cherry tomatoes, green bell pepper, chicken, colby jack, olives, and Italian dressing in a large mixing bowl and toss it all together.

Next, add in the cooked pasta and broccoli and toss it again, carefully.

Now, all that is left to do is sprinkle the pasta salad with Parmesan cheese and serve!
