Place chicken into a zip-lock bag; add Italian dressing. Place in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Remove chicken and discard the marinade.
In a medium size skillet over medium-high heat, cook chicken for 7 minutes on each side or until thoroughly cooked through. Remove from heat and cool. Cut chicken into 1/2-inch pieces.
Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. Add green beans to cooking with the pasta during the remaining 5 minutes to blanch; drain. Rinse pasta and beans in cold water and drain well.
In a small bowl, combine dressing ingredients and stir well with a whisk or fork.
In a large bowl, combine pasta with chicken and vegetables. Gently fold in dressing. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours.

About Digestible Carbohydrates:Dreamfields patent-pending process adds a unique blend of protein and inulin fiber (a 100% natural prebiotic fiber found in common foods such as Jerusalem artichokes (sunchokes), asparagus, garlic, raisins and chicory root) to premium durum wheat semolina, resulting in a pasta with 5 grams fiber per serving (about twice that of regular pasta), a 65% lower glycemic index (GI) than regular pasta (Dreamfields GI = 13; regular pasta GI = 38), and 5 grams digestible carbohydrates per serving, which results in a lower blood glucose rise compared to that following consumption of regular pasta.
