Luau Pasta Salad "Summer Picnic Party"

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb penne pasta cooked
  • 2 chicken breasts cooked
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1/4 cup fresh pineapple juice
  • pinch crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup sweet peppers seeded and sliced
  • 1/2 cup coconut
  • 1/4 cup toasted coconut

Instructions

  • This can be eaten hot or cold. I preferred it more at room temperature than ice cold, which is great for bringing it somewhere.
  • Place pasta in an ice bath, and drain once pasta is cooled.
  • Slice chicken into bite sized pieces.
  • Heat chicken broth, soy sauce, corn starch, pineapple juice and crushed red pepper flakes on medium heat until sauce comes to a boil.
  • Pour sauce over pasta with chicken and add in peppers, coconut and pineapple mix until blended.
  • Top with toasted coconut.

Notes

Heat coconut in a skillet on low until golden brown, stirring constantly so it doesn't burn.
