Creamy Spring Chicken Pasta Salad

Creamy Spring Chicken Pasta Salad Recipe

Creamy Chicken Pasta Salad

Chicken Salad is a classic dish that is often enjoyed during warmer months. It can be made with a variety of ingredients, but it typically includes chicken, mayonnaise, and various seasonings. In this recipe, we are using Mrs. Miller's Homemade Noodles to create a Creamy Spring Chicken Pasta Salad that brings all the fresh flavors of spring salads with a kick of heartiness from Lehman's Canned Chicken.

Mrs. Miller's Medium Egg Noodles are perfect for this dish because they are hearty and have a great texture. They also hold up well when mixed with other ingredients, making them ideal for salads. The noodles are cooked according to the package directions and then cooled before being added to the salad. We like to use a favorite pantry item - Lehman's Canned Chicken for this recipe because we always have it on hand. However, you can use any cooked and shredded chicken like a rotisserie chicken from your local grocery store.

In this version, we added the spring flavors of broccoli and asparagus to give it a seasonal boost but you can add whatever veggies you like this time of year to make it your own.
