For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken in a little Caesar dressing for 30 minutes before cooking.
Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or red onion for added color and nutrients.
If you want a richer flavor, try using a homemade Caesar dressing.
To prevent the lettuce from wilting, toss it with the pasta and dressing just before serving.
