Ingredients
2 boneless chicken breasts
3/4 cup steak sauce* (similar to Brown sauce in UK)
1 (12 ounce/140-150 gm.) package fusilli or bow-tie pasta
2 chicken bouillon (stock) cubes
1 medium Vidalia onion**, peeled and sliced. Use other onions that are not too strong
2 avocados, peeled and diced into cubes
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1 cup blue cheese or ranch salad dressing
*Steak sauce is a mix of all or some of the things like tomato ketchup, soy sauce, dry mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, garlic paste/powder, onion powder, ground cinnamon, ground cloves. It is similar to Brown sauce.
**Vidalia onions are sweet onions grown in some parts of USA.
Instructions
Marinate chicken breasts in steak sauce for 15 to 60 minutes.
Grill until cooked and chop into bite-size pieces.
In a large pot of boiling water, add the bouillon cubes and
cook pasta until al-dante (firm, but not hard).
Drain and rinse under cold water. This stops the pasta from cooking further hile resting.
In a large bowl, combine chicken, pasta, onion, avocados and tomatoes. Add salad dressing, mix and refrigerate until chilled.
Stir in additional salad dressing when ready to serve, if desired.
