Tex-mex Chicken Pasta Salad

"This Tex‑Mex Chicken Pasta Salad is a colorful dish that brings together Southwestern style flavors in a pasta salad form. Boneless skinless chicken breasts are seasoned and pan-seared then mixed with rotini pasta, sweet corn, bell pepper, jalapeno, and sharp cheddar cheese. After being tossed with a homemade garlic and cumin vinaigrette dressing, the pasta salad is chilled to allow the flavors to meld. With a total time of about 1 hour and 30 minutes, which includes chill time, and enough to serve six, it’s a crowd‑pleasing Tex‑Mex twist on classic pasta salad."
