You will need to gather:

cut into 1/4-inch strips
~ 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (!we skipped this)

Then you do this:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat.
2. While pasta cooks, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat: coat with cooking spray. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken & asparagus to pan; saute 5 minutes.

FYI: We seasoned & grilled the chicken and asparagus. Saute'd everything else but the tomatoes. Cooled/Chilled everything then mixed pasta. We ate it cold and it was DELISH. In our opinion.
I hope you enjoy yours!
