Garden Chicken Pasta Salad




this is from my good friend Sonja Glick. I first had this at her son Trace's baby blessing about 8 years ago. I've been making it and loving it ever since.


12 oz cooked, drained garden rotini pasta
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 purple onion, thinly sliced
2 crowns broccoli, stems trimmed, cut into bite size pieces
1 chicken breast, cooked and diced
1/2 bottle Kraft brand "3 Cheese" salad dressing

mix all together, let flavors meld and salad chill before serving!

*notes- depending on your family's taste, you can add more or less of the peppers, onions and broccoli. and to make this a meal salad, add lots of chicken. i have found in some grocery stores that there is a lite version of the salad dressing and when i can find it, i buy it, otherwise i try to use just enough of the dressing to coat without glopping it everywhere. and this salad keeps well for several days, i usually make it a day ahead when i fix it.
