Ingredients:

Serving

8 oz chicken tenders, cut in 3-inch pieces
1 cup italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 egg, beaten well
2 tbsp olive oil , to saute the chicken in
6 oz cavatappi pasta
1 bunch arugula
4 tbsp parmesan cheese , as a garnish
4 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp parsley
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp chicken broth
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp anchovy paste
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

Chicken - I set down 2 bowls. One with the egg and one with the bread crumbs with the salt, pepper and red pepper. Now, dip the chicken in the egg and then the bread crumbs and then into a saute pan heated to medium high heat with the olive oil. Cook all the pieces until golden brown on each side. They should only take a couple of minutes per side. Quick cooking. Remove and set on a plate lined with a paper towel to drain any grease. Cover with foil or a lid to keep warm. TIP: I just throw mine in the microwave, no heat, the closed space tends to keep them warm until the salad is ready.
Pasta - make the pasta according to directions, then drain well and set to the side and just let it cool. TIP: stir in 1 drizzle of olive oil so the noodles don't stick together.
Dressing - In a mini food processor add everything for the dressing and mix. Mix until you get a nice smooth creamy dressing. Taste for any additional salt or pepper.
Salad - combine the cooled pasta, arugula and dressing and toss well. Then add the chicken and lightly toss. Top each salad plate with some of the parmesan for a garnish.
Serve this with a nice toasted slice of bread and you got an amazing dinner. This is a lighter healthier version so don't expect a heavy creamy sauce with this. This is a heart healthy recipe.
