Chicken & broccoli pasta salad

Summer is coming and I am all about those pasta salad dishes! They are great as a side dish when grilling up some burgers, and perfect to take to any summer get-togethers. I whipped up this simple chicken and broccoli pasta salad on a whim one day with what I had available in my fridge and pantry and it came together quite nicely, I didn’t have intentions of adding it to the blog but it was so delicious I couldn’t keep it to myself haha.. Makes 8, 1 cup servings, 4SP on both blue/green, 2SP on purple.
