    2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
    1 tablespoon Greek seasoning
    1 teaspoon dried rosemary
    1 (9 ounces) package fresh cheese tortellini
    2 cups sweet grape tomatoes

    Place chicken in large skillet; add Greek seasoning and rosemary. Add enough water to just cover chicken. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer 6-10 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Remove chicken; discard liquid. Cool.

    Meanwhile, cook tortellini according to package directions. Drain; rinse under cold running water to cool.

    Shred chicken with fork; place in large bowl. Add cooked tortellini and all remaining salad ingredients.

    In a small bowl, combine all vinaigrette ingredients except oil. Slowly whisk in oil until well blended. Add to salad; toss gently to mix.
