- Small and large bowl
- Knife and cutting board
- Medium-sized skillet
Ingredients
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 garlic clove, finely minced
- 4 anchovy filets, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime or lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese plus more for garnish
- 12 oz penne pasta
- 1 small romaine lettuce head, chopped
- 1 ½ cups grape tomatoes, halved
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cubed
- 1 ½ cups croutons
Instructions
- Cook the penne pasta until al dente according to package directions, drain, and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and prevent it from sticking.
- While the pasta is cooking, make the dressing by combining the mayo, Greek yogurt, lime juice, shredded parmesan, minced garlic, chopped anchovies, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce until creamy.
- In a medium-sized skillet, heat half a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat and brown the diced chicken breasts until fully cooked, about 3 minutes on each side.
- Place the cooked pasta, chopped lettuce, grape tomatoes, cooked chicken, and croutons in a large bowl. Pour in the dressing and toss to combine. Serve with extra parmesan cheese on top.
