Chicken and Pasta Salad

This is kind of a new take on chicken salad and pasta salad, but it's really good and really easy. I can make it at the beginning of the week and then eat the leftovers for lunch throughout the week. 


Ingredients
2 cooked and diced chicken breasts
1 box of penne pasta
1 1/2 cups chopped celery
1 1/2 cups red grapes
3/4 cup mayo
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2-3 dashes lemon juice

Directions
1. Bake chicken at 350 for 40 to 50 minutes. After the chicken is done, cut it into diced pieces.
2. While chicken is cooking, cook the pasta. After you drain the pasta, run cold water over it cool it down.
3. Chop the celery and pick grapes off of the stems.
4. Combine chicken, pasta, celery, and grapes in a large bowl. Add the mayo, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice and mix everything together. 

You can easily adjust the quantities of each of the ingredients. If you want it to be more "saucy" just add a little more mayo and mustard. Or add more grapes if you like. The recipe is so easy, you can adjust it how you like or make it exactly how I did :)
