In a bowl, combine the chicken, basil pesto, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for 15 minutes.

While chicken is marinating, preheat your oven to 375°F.

Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

In a large salad bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, grated parmesan, and a pinch each of salt and pepper until well combined.

Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, according to package directions. Drain and immediately add the hot pasta to the dressing.

Add the cubed cheddar cheese to the pasta and toss to combine.

Add the cooked chicken, croutons, shredded romaine lettuce, corn kernels, and crumbled bacon to the pasta. Gently toss to combine all the ingredients.

Top the pasta salad with diced avocado, adjusting the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm or chilled.
