Brendan's Salad

1 pkg medium shell noodles
1 bunch of broccoli
3 chicken breasts
1 quart of Buttermilk depending on how many seasoning packets you use. (I like more than needed in case over a day or so the salad gets a little dry)
1-2 packages of Hidden valley ranch butter milk dressing package mix (DO NOT USE THE RANCH DRESSING IN THE BOTTLE IT IS NOT THE SAME)
1-2 cucumbers
1-2 tomatoes
Small block of cheddar
Small block of pepper jack
Mayonnaise (follow directions on buttermilk packet mix)


Cook noodles in salted water until done (firm but soft) drain and cool. Put into bowl.
Either pan fry or boil chicken breasts until done (I like to boil it, it is quicker and makes the meat a little more juicy) dice and put into bowl once cooled. Chop broccoli into little flowerets (I cut mine down pretty small about the size of a dime it is a preference thing), dice tomatoes, cut cucumbers into small bite sized pieces (with or without seeds), dice cheese into small chunks about ½ inch x ½ inch squares and put into bowl. Mix buttermilk, mayonnaise, and dry seasoning packet. Make sure buttermilk is really cold and pour over all ingredients.
Mix and serve
