We know how important it is to drink plenty of water everyday, but
we often neglect another type of water in our diet, nutritious water
found in food. Only

Grilled Chicken and Pasta Salad
By: Ann Marie Lockwood
"This salad is very filling and is used as a meal in my home. Everyone
always loves it! It is also quick and easy. Note: I have also added
olives, hard boiled eggs, and red bell pepper to this salad. Enjoy with
your favorite dressing!" Original recipe yield: 4 servings.
INGREDIENTS:
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
steak seasoning to taste
8 ounces rotini pasta
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, cubed
1 red onion, chopped
1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
6 cherry tomatoes, chopped
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the grill for high heat. Season both sides of chicken breast
halves with steak seasoning. Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill chicken
6 to 8 minutes per side, or until juices run clear. Remove from heat,
cool, and cut into strips. Meanwhile, place the rotini pasta in a large
pot of lightly salted boiling water. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, until al
dente. Drain, and rinse with cold water to cool. In a large bowl, mix
together the cheese, onion, lettuce, and tomatoes. Toss with the cooled
chicken and pasta to serve.
