Grilled Chicken Pasta Salad

Serves 4

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 cup chopped broccoli

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

salt & pepper to taste

4 cups cooked pasta (bowties, shells, penne)

2 green onions, thinly sliced

1/2 red bell pepper, chopped

Asian orange marinade:

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 tablespoons orange juice

2 teaspoons soy sauce

1 clove garlic, minced

Using the flat side of a meat mallet, lightly pound chicken breasts to 1/2" thickness. Mix together marinade ingredients in a shallow bowl. Add chicken and turn to coat with marinade. Cover and marinate for up to 10 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 8 hours. Remove from marinade and grill over hot coals for 3-4 minutes on each side; until no longer pink in the center. Allow chicken to cool and cut into strips; reserve. Cook broccoli in boiling water to cover until slightly tender, about 2-3 minutes. Rinse under cold water to stop cooking time and preserve color. Combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add pasta, green onions, broccoli, red bell pepper, and reserved chicken. Toss to coat with dressing. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.

dressing:

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

2 tablespoons plum sauce

1 teaspoon lime zest

Arrange fruit on a platter or in a bowl. In a small bowl, combine ingredients for dressing. Pour dressing over fruit and serve.
