Chicken Caesar crispy pasta salad

It’s pasta salad season and this Chicken Caesar Crispy Pasta salad needs to be on your menu!

The other day I was scrolling on Tik Tok looking for recipe inspiration when I came across this creator who was making a pasta salad but with crispy pasta. That’s right. She baked her pasta first! After falling in love with the crispy rice bowls, I was intrigued to give this a try.

It sounds weird but it was absolutely incredible.  I gabbed a box of farfelle, boiled it and then threw it in the oven.  Then I whipped up a chicken Caesar salad with some grilled chicken we had leftover from dinner. It adds a nice buttery crunch that is way better than any crouton! I’m sharing my chicken Caesar crispy pasta salad recipe below. Grab a crispy Diet Coke and enjoy!!!
