Ingredients

(salad)

200g uncooked bow tie pasta

200g cos lettuce leaves, torn

3 rashers bacon

2 x medium tomatoes, small dice

300g chicken thigh fillets, into strips

2 Tbsp soy sauce

1 Tbsp oyster sauce

2 tsp minced garlic

1 tsp dried rosemary

(Ranch dressing) you will have some leftover..

1/4 cup good quality mayonnaise (I had some leftover home made)

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup butter milk

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tsp lemon juice

1/2 tsp cracked black pepper

1/2 tsp ground sea salt

1 & 1/2 tsp dried dill leaves

1 & 1/2 Tbsp chopped fresh chives

Directions

Slice chicken- throw in a bowl with soy & oyster sauces, garlic and rosemary. Allow to marinade while you move onto other elements.
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.
Cook pasta as per packet directions until al dente, rinse under cold water, drain and set aside.
Throw you dressing ingredients into a mixing jug. Mix well with a fork and set aside.
Now back to the chicken. I had some bacon fat from the baked bacon earlier. Fry in batches until browned and allow to cool.
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!
