During the summer I tend to keep cooking to a minimum around here. That is why we love this Grilled Chicken Breast Pasta Recipe. Making pasta doesn’t really heat up the house like cooking other things. All you do is cook the pasta, the rest is from your fridge! So easy!
I try to make things that are easy and require little or no cooking. Ya, I am a bit lazy during the Summer 🙂 I have tried (many times mind you all..) Hillshire Farm Grilled Chicken Breast and is a regular ingredient in my pasta, salads, and other dishes. Why? Because it is already cooked/prepared and I can then just add it to my meals!! See, no cooking, and a yummy meal is born 🙂
One dish that I ABSOLUTELY love (and yes, my mouth is watering as I type this) is my Grilled Chicken Breast Pasta. Oh, my heavens is it GOOD. It is super easy to make and with the Hillshire Farm Grilled Chicken Breast, it is even EASIER to make!!!
Grilled Chicken Breast Pasta Recipe
*This post includes my affiliate links
The chicken breast is moist, delicious, and seasoned just perfectly for me. The Grilled Chicken Breast is available in four flavors: Original, Garlic and Herb, Italian, and Lemon Pepper.
We all prefer the garlic and herb, that way I don’t have to season it at all. Don’t get me wrong, we have tried and loved them all, but the garlic and herb win in this home!
So back to my Grilled Chicken Breast Pasta!! I have included the recipe below:
| Hillshire Farm Grilled Chicken Breast Pasta |
- 1 package (16 ounces) of colored spiral pasta (we like to use Dreamfields pasta)
- 1 pack of Hillshire Farm Grilled Chicken Breast (cut up well)
- broccoli cut up (about a cup or so)
- 1 large cut-up tomato
- 1/2 package of pepperoni (for pizzas, just cut it up well!)
- small onion (I use a whole SMALL onion, but you can use 1/2 of one)
- 1 whole cucumber cut up
- 1 cup of mayonnaise
- 1 bottle of Italian Dressing
- 1/2 can of cut-up olives
- 5 baby carrots cut up
- a handful of cut-up pepper jack cheese
- Cook your pasta (read directions on packaging) drain and rinse.
- Put cooked pasta in a large bowl and add all ingredients above. (First I add the mayo then everything else).
- You can chill in the fridge or eat right away. I usually cannot wait and eat it right away 🙂 Enjoy!!!!

This recipe sounds great, but I’d love to see a picture of the finished meal. I’ve seen this next to the ham at the grocery store but never thought about buying it. I might just give this a try.

I also try not to cook in the summer and try my best to make cooler foods! This pasta recipe is terrific and I like the convenience of this product. We love salads in the summer so this would be perfect to add.

This would be great. I will have to try this along with the stuffed mushroom also that you have on recipes. My son is going through a phase where he wont eat anything but hot dogs and eggs. so maybe he will like this and the mushrooms.
