SUNNY'S GRILLED COBB PASTA SALAD

Steps:

Once rested, finely chop the chicken: not big chunks, nice lil bits the size of peas.

• For the salad: To the large bowl of pasta, add the sun-dried tomatoes and dressing and mix to combine. Arrange the chicken, corn, eggs, bacon and cheese on top of the pasta salad.
