Meh. This was very mediocre (IMHO). I wanted to make something quick for lunches this week, but had little time available to cook over the weekend. This recipe seemed to fit the bill perfectly (and it certainly did!), but unfortunately, the end result was just so-so (bummer!). For starters, once refrigerated, everything dried up (it's as if the sauce evaporated...). Additionally, eaten fresh, the flavors (i.e. cilantro, onion) didn't have a chance to "meld" and the sesame taste was overwhelming. On day 2 (and now day 3), the flavor has improved, but my pasta is now dry as a bone :( I scaled this recipe to 7 servings because I only had 2 cups worth of chicken (I purchased 2 (8 oz.) bags of oven roasted chicken strips on sale at my local grocer and cut them into tiny pieces - this was WAAAAY cheaper than purchasing a rotisserie chicken or a large "chunk" from my deli counter). I wish I would have made the full 10 servings worth of dressing. I believe that would have alleviated the dryness issue, at least somewhat. Served with a ciabatta roll, this makes for a filling, yet light lunch. I just don't think I like this enough to add to my regular rotation. Thanks for sharing :)
