Chicken Cesar Pasta Salad

 8 oz brown rice and quinoa noodles (from Trader Joe’s but just use pasta of your choice)

1/2 cup bread crumbs

1/2 cup shredded Parmesan
1 cup Caesar dressing of choice (I used vegan Caesar from Trader Joe’s)
2 heads Romaine lettuce, washed and cut
2 chicken breasts cut into small pieces and seasoned with:
* paprika
* garlic powder
* onion powder
* dried oregano
* cayenne pepper
* salt & pepper

1. Cook noodles according to package
2. Cut up Romain lettuce and wash
3. Shred Parmesan cheese
4. Add bread crumbs to a small pan with some olive oil and sauté until they are browned
5. Cut up chicken into tiny pieces and season with the seasonings above
6. Add it to a medium sauce pan with some olive oil and sauté until chicken is cooked
7. Once noodles and chicken have cooked allow them to cook before adding to bowl
8. In a large bowl combine: noodles, blackened chicken, parm, bread crumbs, Romain, Caesar
9. Mix until combines and coated with dressing (option to add more dressing if you would like)
10. Divide into four meal prep containers and eat cold throughout the week (you can heat it up for 35 seconds to break up the noodles a bit before eating)
