Hot Chicken Pasta Salad

1 pound boneless chicken breast cut into bite-size pieces
1 large bottle Italian salad dressing
1/2 teas garlic powder
1/2 cup chopped sweet onion
2 chopped green peppers or mixed -orange red green yellow ( I like this best)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 pound pasta ( rotelle or cork screws work best)
salt and pepper to taste

Marinate chicken in 1 cup salad dressing about 1 hour, then cook in a skillet with garlic powder til done, breaking up any large pieces. Boil pasta til done, drain, then add remaining ingredients. Add more salad dressing as needed to moisten. You can serve this cold, room temp or reheat. We like to add extra cheese when we serve it. If not eaten right away, you may need more dressing as it does get absorbed. The amounts are all very flexible. You can add more or less of anything and it still is great. I like to add cut cherry or grape tomatoes to mine.
