A comforting dish of angel hair pasta coated in creamy Caesar dressing with tender chicken and crunchy capers, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz angel hair pasta
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 tbsp capers
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once it reaches a rolling boil, add the angel hair pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, typically around 4 to 5 minutes.
- After draining the pasta in a colander, set it aside to cool slightly to prevent clumping.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm pasta with the shredded chicken, a generous pour of Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and capers.
- Use tongs to gently toss everything together, ensuring the pasta and chicken are perfectly coated in that luscious dressing.
- Taste and season with freshly cracked salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley for an extra touch of elegance.
Notes
Consider preparing the chicken and dressing mixture a day in advance for quick assembly. Avoid overcooking the pasta for the best texture.
