Ingredients
- 1 package (8oz) uncooked pasta
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 lb)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped (3/4 cup)
- 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 2 ripe mangoes, seed removed, peeled, and cut up
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise, then cut crosswise into slices (1 cup)

Directions
- Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cook pasta as directed on package; drain. Rinse with cold water to cool; drain well.
- Meanwhile, place chicken on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 15 to 20 minutes, turning once or twice until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F). Cool slightly. Cut into 3/4-inch cubes.
