Chicken Asparagus

I haven't made this one in a while, but found it in my recipe book and think I'll make it next week. It's a recipe from the Outpost restaurant that used to be in Abilene--have any of you eaten there before? It was a sad, sad day for me when they closed! My friend used to work there and I have a couple of their great recipes--my other favorite is mushroom chicken, I'll post it later.

Ingredients:
Rice-a-Roni Wild Rice Pilaf (prepare according to box--keep warm)
1 bunch asparagus
1/2 C Red Wine Vinegar
2 chicken breasts cut into chunks (marinate these in Italian dressing for 2 hrs)
Salt, pepper
8 oz pkg mushrooms, chopped
1/2 C pecans
few cherry tomatoes
1/4 C Parmesan-grated

Steps:
*Saute chicken in red wine vinegar--cook until brown and done
*Season with salt & pepper
*Add asparagus & mushrooms & cook on medium until they are soft
*Add pecans to rice
*Serve chicken mixture on rice & top with tomatoes & Parmesan cheese
