Pasta salad with grilled chicken

This is a great side dish to bring to those summertime barbeques. My dad used to make this when we were kids and it's just so easy to make I had to share. 

Pasta:
1 box whole wheat penne pasta
1/2 cup lite mayonnaise
1 red bell pepper (diced)
1 green bell pepper (diced)
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tbs black pepper
2 tbs salt
2 tbs parsley flakes
1 tbs oregano

Boil the pasta and rinse with cold water. Drain and add spices.
While the pasta is boiling you can grill the chicken.

Chicken:

1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Cayenne pepper

Spray the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season with above ingredients. Grill on high until slightly blackened.

Cut the grilled chicken into cubes. Add chicken, mayo, and bell peppers into a large bowl with pasta and toss well. Refrigerate for at least two hours prior to serving.
