Preparation

Begin by preheating your oven for the roasted chicken. Season the chicken with herbs, salt, and pepper. Once the oven is adequately heated, roast the chicken until it's fully cooked and has a golden-brown crust. Boil water in a pot, add a pinch of salt and cook the rotini pasta until al dente. For the salad, wash the spinach leaves, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes thoroughly. Cut the bell pepper into thin slices and halve the cherry tomatoes.

Assembly

In a large serving bowl, mix the rotini pasta with the creamy salad dressing until evenly coated. Add the spinach leaves, sliced bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes, giving it a gentle toss to combine. Slice the roasted chicken into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on top of the salad-pasta mix.

Serving

Serve the dish warm, with an optional sprinkle of fresh herbs on top for a burst of freshness. Enjoy this balanced meal that brings together the heartiness of chicken, the lightness of salad, and the comfort of pasta in one plate.
