Kraft Kitchens Tips

Shortcut:Cooking the broccoli in the pasta cooking water saves on the preparation time of this lovely summer salad.
Make Ahead:Prepare as directed. Refrigerate several hours or until chilled. 
 
Notes: I've made this a few times.  I've tried grilled chicken and leftovers from rotisserie chicken.  I think I prefer grilled.
