But if you\u2019ve been craving a heartier, protein-packed, more satisfying pasta salad, you\u2019re going to love this Italian chicken pasta salad recipe! Featuring mouthwatering, oh-so-juicy Italian chicken breasts, aesthetically pleasing rigatoni, smooth mozzarella and rich Parmesan cheeses, earthy artichoke hearts, sweet roasted red peppers, and bitter \u2013 yet sweet \u2013 asparagus, all mixed to perfection with Italian vinaigrette salad dressing, you\u2019ve never experienced a pasta salad like this before. Let\u2019s mangia!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why We Love This Omaha Steaks Air-Chilled Chicken Recipe<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Could you make this recipe using unseasoned, water-chilled chicken? Sure. Just don\u2019t offer any to us! The chicken is the star of this recipe and you\u2019re getting a top-tier A-lister: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/product\/Air-Chilled-Italian-Seasoned-Chicken-Breasts-4-5-oz-03552?SRC=RZ0636\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">Omaha Steaks Air-Chilled Italian Seasoned Chicken Breasts<\/a>. This chicken is individually chilled in temperature-controlled air instead of water to create a more tender, juicer bite that\u2019s 100% chicken, 0% water. It\u2019s then exquisitely seasoned with a blend of oregano, thyme, garlic, onion, and just a hint of fennel, delivering double the Italian flavor than just vinaigrette salad dressing could provide for a taste straight from the old country.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Before You Start<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Safely thaw your juicy, perfectly seasoned <a
