This recipe calls for Cooked Cubed or Shredded Chicken. Rotisserie Chicken works perfectly or even leftover chicken.
Add 1 lb Pasta with enough water to cover pasta in Instant Pot and pressure cook for 5 minutes with a 5-minute Natural Pressure Release. OR Cook pasta on stovetop according to package directions. Broth can be substituted for water to infuse pasta with more flavor
Rinse Pasta in cool water and drain.
Rinse and Drain Corn and Beans. I prefer Black Beans. Kidney or Pinto Beans are also a great substitute.
Dice Onions and Tomatoes
In a small bowl mix Powdered Ranch Dressing Mix and Sour Cream together. Mix until blended. Stir in BBQ Sauce. Mix together and set aside.
In a large bowl combine cubed chicken, beans, corn, onion, tomatoes, and pasta. Toss and mix all ingredients.
Add sauce and mix to combine.
Before serving add chips and lightly toss to combine. Add cheese on top, optional.
Notes
Pasta Salad Tips
Add BBQ Ranch Dressing to pasta and wait to add Frito Chips until ready to serve. Chips will become soggy and absorb all the dressing making the pasta dry.
