GRILLED CHICKEN PASTA SALAD WITH ARTICHOKE HEARTS
Use canned artichoke hearts but make sure to rinse them thoroughly. I've also used this recipe with turkey sausage or pepperoni instead of the grilled chicken and both make fun substitutions. This travels well! If you want to cut down on oil, try subbing half chicken broth.

Tips:
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade not only adds flavor to the chicken, but it also helps to tenderize it. Try using a marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs like rosemary or thyme.
- Cook the chicken over indirect heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. If you're using a gas grill, turn off one or two of the burners and cook the chicken over the unlit burners. If you're using a charcoal grill, push the coals to one side and cook the chicken on the opposite side.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the salad will be. Look for fresh, ripe vegetables and a good quality pasta.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Chill the salad before serving: This will help to make the flavors meld together and also make the salad more refreshing.
