Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice
½ red onion, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 cucumber, sliced - or amount to taste
⅔ cup safflower oil
⅓ cup cider vinegar
¾ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
4 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat; lightly oil the grill.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain well.
  • While pasta is cooking, grill the chicken breast halves until the meat is no longer pink in the middle and the juices run clear, 5 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chicken breast should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Allow to rest for about 5 minutes, then slice into bite-size pieces; keep warm.
  • In a large salad bowl, lightly toss together the grilled chicken, hot cooked linguine, romaine, green pepper, red onion, and cucumber.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together safflower oil, cider vinegar, sugar, poppy seeds, dry mustard powder, and green onions until smooth and evenly blended. Pour the dressing over the salad to serve.
