Preparation

To make the marinade, in a medium bowl, combine all marinade ingredients; mix well. Place chicken in a gallon freezer bag with a zippered closure and pour the marinade over it. Squeeze the air out of the bag and seal. Refrigerate in a bowl for 2 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
Remove chicken from marinade and let excess marinade drain off. Grill chicken breasts over direct medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes per side or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F). Cool and cut into 1-inch cubes. Refrigerate while preparing the salad.
Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the Salad Dressing ingredients.
Drain the pasta and allow to cool slightly. Add the pasta to the salad dressing; toss to coat. Gently stir in chicken and tomatoes. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours to combine flavors. Garnish with additional chopped parsley.
