Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

1 lb Ditalini pasta

2 cups Shredded rotisserie chicken

1 pt Cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup Sliced and drained banana peppers

1 Avocado thinly sliced

2 tbsp Minced fresh chives

Honey-Chipotle Vinaigrette

½ cup Red wine vinegar

¼ cup Mayonnaise

2 tbsp Honey

2 tbsp Chipotle peppers in adobo, plus more if needed

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp Dried Italian seasoning

1 Clove garlic

¼ cup Olive Oil

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta in the boiling water until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.

Toss the pasta with the Honey-Chipotle Vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper. Next, add the chicken, cherry tomatoes and banana peppers. Toss it all and transfer to a pasta bowl for serving. Top with fanned-out avocado slices and garnish with the chives.

Put the vinegar, mayo, honey, chipotle, mustard, Italian seasoning, garlic and some salt and pepper in a blender or food processor. While the machine is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the dressing is combined and emulsified. Adjust the seasoning if necessary, or add more chipotle if you want it more spicy.
