Linda's Warm Chicken Pasta w/ Roasted Veggies

Set you oven at 350F

On a non-stick sprayed baking sheet spread the following:
1 pkg Franciscan frozen veggies (carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, and red bell pepper)
1/2 C chopped celery ( this is something I like to keep in the freezer as well, all ready to put into soups and such
1/2 C chopped onion ( same here, in the freezer, cuts down on the prep time)
Sprinkle liberally but don't over do it with Lawry's, fresh ground sea salt and fresh ground pepper.
Drizzle with EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)

Roast for 30-45 minutes, until you like the color on the edges but don't dry the veggies out.

In the mean time:

2 C diced roasted chicken
1/3 C minced black olives
1/2 pound of cooked penne pasta or what ever shape you like

If the chicken is cold then mix this all up and heat in a micro-wave safe dish for 2 minutes on high.

When your veggies are done, carefully add them to the chicken mixture.

1/2 C more or less of Good Season or other Italian dressing that you like. Add this to the bowl and mix it all well.

Return the bowl, covered, to the micro-wave and heat on high for another 2 minutes.
Stir well and serve adding you favorite cheese, Feta would be great but Den kind of liked Parmesan.
