Italian Seasoned Chicken over Pasta Salad

I dreamed this up one warm summer day when I had minimal dinner ingredients on hand. Served cold/room temperature, it has a good variety of protein, carbs and veggies. You can also easily vary the dressing used for the pasta. And the measurements are estimates, so please adjust according to your taste. Hope you enjoy it!
