Balsamic Glazed Chicken Pasta With Vegetables image

I was looking for something quick and easy to make. It's always so hot to cook in the summer so I wanted something I could cook outside on the grill or toss together as a pasta salad. I was pleasently surprised how well this recipe turned out and it was exactly what I was trying to create for a summer pasta salad for dinner. I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine.
