Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Caesar salad dressing
  • 4 (4 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • 2 cups multi-grain or regular penne pasta, cooked, rinsed with cold water and drained
  • 1/2 cup Caesar salad dressing
  • 2 cups SARGENTO® Bistro® Blends Shredded Italian Pasta Cheese, divided
