Curry Mango Grilled Chicken and Impromptu Pasta Salad

my parents came to visit for my birthday this past week and my dad got me a nice gas grill for my balcony. i feel like it goes without saying that grilling is by far the superior mode of cooking, so ive been grilling burgers and chicken like crazy ever since i got it and below is the first photo shoot. oh- isnt my new cactus cute?

Ingredients:

- 2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup Curry Mango Marinade
- 1 cup color Rotelli cooked as directed (this is for a single serving)
- 2 tablespoons ceasar salad dressing
- 1 heart handful of cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 of an onion cut into thin slices 
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/6 cup diced red and/or yellow peppers

Preparation:

I recommend marinating the chicken for a couple of hours, but if your in a rush or are hungry like i usually am by the time i start cooking, just coat the chicken in the marinade and let it sit while you boil the water for the pasta Marinate chicken for a couple of hours in the fridge before heating grill and grilling on medium -medium high until juice run clear. 

cook pasta as directed and toss with veggies, feta, and ceasar dressing. i didnt have any feta, but really wanted it in there, so im just including it in the ingredients. also, if i had some, i would have grilled zucchini and added that as well.
