BBQ Chicken Pasta Salad

BBQ Chicken Pasta Salad with penne pasta, black beans, corn, tomatoes, and cheese over a bed of green lettuce.  Mmm good!

Since it's Monday and all I wanted to share another yummy 30-minute meal to get you through the busy week! If I don't have a few easy meal ideas on hand the first days of the week I go crazy!

My husband doesn't get home until around 10pm each night, which means my days with the kids can be loooonnnggg. The last thing I have energy for at the end of the days is making dinner!

Luckily this BBQ Chicken Pasta Salad comes together quickly and is super yummy and fresh.  It has hints of yummy comfort food with an added  fresh salad crunch.
