Chicken Pasta Salad

Ingredients:  (regular batch/for a large crowd batch)
2 chicken breasts/or 6 chicken breasts
1 small onion/or 2 onions
1/2 pkg curly macaroni/or 2 packages
1 small can pineapple tidbits undrained/or 2 large cans
1 cup green grapes, halved/or 2 cups
1 cup red grapes, halved/or 2 cups
1 cup chopped red apples/or 3 cups chopped apples
3/4 cup chopped celery/or 2 cups
2 green onions chopped/or 4 green onions
1 small can cashew halves and pieces/or 1 large can

Dressing:
1 12oz bottle Coleslaw dressing/or 1 24oz bottle
3/4 cup mayonnaise/or 1 - 1 1/2 cup mayo

Directions:
1) Boil chicken with onion 20-25 minutes. Also prepare macaroni and drain.
2) Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the ingredients and start putting them all in a large bowl. For the pineapple, drain the juice over a bowl. After you chop the red apples, place the chunks in the bowl with the pineapple juice (to help reduce browning) and add them at the end.
3) When the chicken is cooked, cut into small pieces and put in the bowl, discarding the onion. For the pasta, once cooked al dente drain and run under cool water before adding to the bowl.
4) In a separate bowl prepare dressing. Then pour it over the pasta salad and toss gently. Keep this refrigerated; may be made in advance and still good next day.
