Italian chicken pasta salad

I made this for dinner last night. It was perfect for a hot summer day. Light and easy.

Ingredients:

8 ounces small shell pasta
2-3 chicken breasts
1 Tb olive oil
1 Tb garlic
2 Tbs soy sauce
1 cup fresh/frozen vegetables of choice(I used a frozen medley from Costco, with squash, carrots, broccoli and Cauliflower).
1 cup sliced olives
1 cup shredded cheese
1 cup Italian dressing
1/2 cup mayo (optional)
salt and peeper to taste (optional)
Parsley for garnish

Directions:

Cook pasta over stove top according to directions on package. In a skillet cook chicken with olive oil, garlic, and soy sauce. When chicken is cooked add vegetables on top of chicken while burner is on med/low to steam. When everything is done remove pasta from stove top and drain. Cool pasta in strainer while removing vegetables and chicken from pan. Cut vegetables and chicken to desired sizes. Then add pasta and remaining ingredients to a bowl and serve. Serves 6
