Buffalo Chicken Ranch Pasta Salad

This dish can be served warm or cold and made however spicy or not spicy you want...so experiment with it!

Ingredients
Box of whole wheat rotini
2 packets ranch dressing packets
3 chicken breasts
1 cup mayo ( I like to use the olive oil blend )
Buffalo Sauce
Block of cheddar ( or whatever cheese you prefer)

Boil water for noodles and cook al dente
Grill or pan fry the chicken breasts
Mix the mayo and ranch packets together
Let chicken cool down before cutting to keep the juices in
Drain the pasta from the water and run under cold water
Cut the cheese up into cubes
Cut the chicken up and toss in the buffalo sauce (use as much or as little as you like - douse it or leave
         on the dryer side)
Toss the noodles into the may ranch mixture and mix around until coated
Toss the chicken in and mix around       
Mix the cheddar into the dish

Serve cold or warm - both ways are delicious. If you are packing lunches and a microwave is not available this is a great dish to send to break up the every day sandwich :)
