Directions:
Grill chicken as you like it or shred an already cooked rotisserie chicken. Cook pasta according to package. Add green beans to pasta water during the last 2 minutes. You want them to still have crunch. Remove pasta and beans. Marinate mushrooms and onions in balsamic vinegar while pasta is cooking. Once pasta is done, mix together with chicken, pesto, mushrooms, green beans and onion. Combine. Add more balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with Parmesan.

We have made this at my Dad and Sheila's several times. I never follow a recipe, just kind of wing it so feel free to do the same.
