Chicken and Pasta Salad

This recipe is advertised at "2" servings. I made enough (I thought) for 3 following the recipe. The quantity is more for 6 servings. Also, I poured the dressing over all approximately 2 hours before serving, added about 3/4 cup chopped basil & parsley. Served with garlic bread.
