Jalapeno and Pesto Chicken Pasta Salad image

This is a delicious, cold chicken and pasta salad. Very healthy as well. It takes less than 10 minutes to put together and is bursting with flavor from only a few ingredients. I prefer using two jalapenos (SEEDED) but if you want only a very little spice to it, just use one. I wouldn't skimp on any of the ingredients, they all make this salad what it is. Perfect for any BBQ or gathering or just a super quick dinner on a night where you don't feel like cooking or heating up the house.
