Pasta and succulent poached chicken are very tasty together. This salad stores well and is great for picnics.

If you're a fan of the menu at this American chain of restaurants which serves a variety of foods such as burgers, steaks, pasta, and seafood then you'll love this collection of copycat recipes.
