3/4 lb of bow tie pasta
1/2 cup of frozen sweet peas
1/4 cup zesty Italian dressing
1 tsp garlic salt

Start by grilled your chicken, season chicken with garlic powder and black pepper and cook in a tbsp of butter. While cooking your chicken, boil the water for your pasta, in this dish it isn't necessary to season the water.

After your chicken is finished cooking, set aside and allow it to rest for a few minutes before cutting.

During the last 20 second of the pasta cook time, pour your frozen peas into the boiling pasta. Make sure you don't used canned peas here, it will alter the taste of the dish.

Drain your pasta and peas. If you would like this to be a cold dish, rinse your pasta under cold water. If not, leave warm

Dump pasta into a bowl and coat with your dressing, stir. Add in your sliced chicken and stir again. Now, freshly grate Parmesan cheese and serve.
