While pasta cooks, prepare the other ingredients: grill and cube the chicken, cook and crumble the bacon, halve the cherry tomatoes, and chop the basil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a large mixing bowl, add the cooled pasta.
Add the cubed grilled chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, mozzarella pearls, crumbled bacon, and chopped fresh basil to the bowl.
Pour the prepared balsamic vinaigrette over the salad ingredients.
Toss everything together until well combined.
