  • 2 cups macaroni
  • 1 (15 ounce) can mixed vegetables, drained

  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl mix together the cooked chicken, drained vegetables, shredded lettuce, and mayonnaise. Add basil, pepper, salt, and garlic powder to taste.
  4. Add drained elbow macaroni to chicken mixture. Toss to coat.
  5. Refrigerate for several hours before serving.
