Found this one on 'lifeintheloft.com'. This is my version. Great flavours and for a pasta salad it actually tastes quite light and refreshing.

Steps

45 mins

1

Slice chicken- throw in a bowl with soy & oyster sauces, garlic and rosemary. Allow to marinade while you move onto other elements.
2

Turn oven on to 180*C. Lay bacon on a wire rack and bake until crunchy and browned. Allow to cool, chop roughly and set aside.
3

Cook pasta as per packet directions until al dente, rinse under cold water, drain and set aside.
4

Throw you dressing ingredients into a mixing jug. Mix well with a fork and set aside.
5

Now back to the chicken. I had some bacon fat from the baked bacon earlier. Fry in batches until browned and allow to cool.
6

Now it's as simple as throwing all the different elements together into a large salad bowl. Top with as much dressing as you desire and tuck in.
Simple idea, but of prep but very nice result. Enjoy!
