Cobb Pasta Salad with Grilled Corn topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
Grill
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 0.5 tsp hot Hungarian paprika
- Olive oil to drizzle
- 2 ears of corn, shelled
Pasta
- Coarse salt
- 450 g of bow-tie macarons
Refueling
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 green onion, cut into 3 pieces
- Zest of 1 lime + 1 tsp. lime juice
Salad
- 4 sun-dried tomatoes in oil, chopped
- 4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 8 strips fried bacon, cut into pieces
- 0.5 cup crumbled blue cheese
Preparation:
- Preheat grill to high heat.
- Grill:
Cut each chicken breast in half to make 4 thin chicken fillets. Gently pound each piece to an even thickness. Sprinkle the chicken with paprika, a little salt, and black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Place the chicken and corn on the grill over direct heat. Cook the chicken on one side for about 4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Turn the corn over to ensure it cooks on all sides. It will take about the same amount of time as the chicken.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and cover with foil for 10 minutes. Let the corn cool enough to cut off the kernels. Place the kernels in a bowl. Once the chicken has rested, shred it into small, pea-sized pieces.
- Pasta:
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add salt. Cook the pasta until al dente according to the package directions. Drain and transfer the pasta to a large bowl.
- Refueling:
In a small food processor, combine the mayonnaise, avocado, green onion, lime zest and juice, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Blend until smooth; add a little water, if needed, to thin to your desired consistency.
- Add sun-dried tomatoes and dressing to a large bowl with the pasta and toss to combine. Top the pasta salad with chicken, corn, eggs, bacon, and cheese.
