BACON RANCH PASTA SALAD 
This is good any time of year and is a family favorite!!!

1 (1 lb.) box spaghetti noodles
1 lb. chicken breasts
1 head broccoli
1 can bacon bits
1 bag shredded cheese (Colby or cheddar)
1 large (or 2 small) bottles Ranch dressing

You may add other vegetables - diced cucumbers and cauliflower is also very good.

Boil noodles and set aside. Bake, boil or grill chicken (whatever you like, I find boiling the fastest method). Set aside to cool.

In large bowl combine noodles, any vegetables you are using (broken into bite size pieces), bacon bits (whole can), Ranch dressing and cooked chicken (cut or pulled into bite sizes) and shredded cheese. Mix together.

You can sprinkle any extra cheese or bacon bits on top or even cherry tomatoes if you wish for a pleasant appearance. Keep in refrigerator until served.
