WHAT YOU’LL NEED

RECIPE VARIATIONS

• Pasta: Any kind will work, just be sure to adjust cooking times based on type!
• Chicken: Grilled, nuggets, rotisserie, literally any kind works! We used the Just Bare chicken chunks in the air fryer for ours. If you’re looking for a lighter version, use a grilled chicken option.
• Dressing: If you’re looking to lighten up this recipe, opt for a healthier / lower fat option of caesar dressing.
• Toppings: You can use any kind of the rest of the toppings or omit as needed! Add in whatever you’d like. 🙂

NUTRITION

These numbers will certainly vary, especially if you use a low-fat caesar or a grilled chicken instead of breaded. Recipe makes 8 servings (about 1 cup each): 222cals, 12f, 19c, 11p
