i use mini pepperoni and shredded sharp cheese instead of the chicken, but that may make it better to add that as well. i don't do broccoli so it WON'T be in mine, but i am sure if you like it it would be good. this is one dish i am asked to bring time and time again.

Really liked this. I added black olives, cubed mozzarella cheese, and shredded carrots to add more veggies and "umph" to the dish. You might want to have extra italian dressing because the pasta will soak it up and the salad might be a little bland the next day.

I like to use fresh broccoli if I can. And add cucumbers, black olives and red grapes give it a plus. :D
