Ingredients:

1 pkg Brown Rice Pasta (I use penne, but any shape will do)

2-3 pieces chicken breast

1 jar marinated artichoke hearts (marinade and all)

1 can black olives (drained)

olive oil

balsamic vinegar

salt and pepper to taste

pine nuts (optional)

any other veggies or ingredients you feel like adding

Directions:

Cook pasta according to package directions.

Dice chicken breast and brown in a little olive oil. (or bake and then dice)

Mix pasta, chicken artichokes, olives together.

Mix in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper to taste.

Top with pine nuts.

Tip: As written, you will have a warm pasta salad. If you would like a cold salad, then rinse pasta with water and chill the chicken before mixing together.
