    Made this last night on the grill after marinating for about 30 mins. Omitted extra olive oil and pasta, and served hot on a bed of spinach. The grated cheese REALLY adds to the flavor. Delicious! Drizzled a little more dressing on top and served with brown rice. - 6/25/08

    I'm not so sure about this. I made it & there was no flavor in the pasta. It was so bland. The chicken was pretty good. I added Italian dressing to the pasta just so I could eat it. I would make the chicken again with different sides. - 7/10/08

    I enjoyed the chicken, but the pasta needed a little punch. I added some of the italian caesar dressing to the pasta to make a sauce, that made it very good! Thanks for the recipe. - 4/27/09

    This certainly doesn't taste like you are trying to lose weight. The only problem when something tastes so good is portion control! At first I was a bit worried what the caesar dressing would do when browned. It (along with the parmesan) acts like a really tasty crust. I will definitely make again! - 3/10/08

    I used a light caesar dressing and just a 1/2 cup of pasta, added a romaine salad. Terrific light dinner, adults and kids all enjoyed it. Thanks! - 6/19/08

    This sounds scrumptous and I will definitely try this. The calories actually aren't high depending on the person's nutrition and workout plasns. For instance Spark's for my dinner have me on a 500 - 600 calorie plan on certain days. Don't let the calories scare you. In order to lose u have 2 eat! - 6/19/08

    I only found creamy ceasar dressing, so added red wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, and crushed red pepper to the dressing and marinated over night then prepared as written. Wonderful flavor, great idea. Left out pasta and opted for steamed broccoli. - 11/21/16

    No pasta for me, but I have cooked chicken in the oven with both Caesar dressing and Ranch. Everytime I cooked with either of these dressing, I get echoes for seconds. I scan the recipes because I am not an interesting or great cook, but my family survives. - 10/8/10

    I have never rated a recipe before, but this one is pretty high in calories. Now reading that all the recipes on this site don't have to be healthly kinda just turned me off. I thought this was all about being healthly. Counting calories is working best for me. - 7/22/10

    This sounds good but I agree with several comments made about the hi calorie & fat count - to cut down on it I will cook chicken on grill and not have to use oil and serve it on salad or bed of spinach & brown rice or salad, Thanks for the idea tho because chicken is our main protein in our house - 7/31/09

    Those who think the pasta hasn't enough taste could always stir in some more Parmesan - and lots of black pepper! - 7/31/09

    The chicken was delicious. Used boneless skinless thighs and came up with a calorie count of 133.4 per piece with 5.2 fat grams, 4.3 carbs, and 17 grams protein. Served on a bed of lettuce with plum tomato, red, onion, and lowfat parmesan peppercorn dressing made for a delicious low cal meal. - 7/30/09

    This sounds delicious, but in my life not worth the calories. I would make it using no oil and substitute a great big (really-really big), bowl of mixed salad greens w/mushrooms & tomatoes for the pasta. This would cut hundreds of calories off and still be filling. I put EVERYTHING on a green salad! - 6/19/08
