During the summer, my family often requests this recipe—especially our 19-year-old (we also have a 15-year-old and a 14-year-old). Simply add garlic bread for a great meal. It's wonderful, too, for a picnic or any gathering. —Lori Thon, Basin, Wyoming

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first six ingredients. Cut each chicken breast into four strips; add to marinade mixture. Seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
Drain and discard marinade. Grill chicken, uncovered, over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until no longer pink. Meanwhile, cook fettuccine according to package directions; drain and rinse in cold water. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the vegetables, olives and fettuccine. In a small bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients. Pour over salad; toss to coat. Top with chicken. Yield: 6 servings.
