Quinoa Rotini with Goat Cheese and Chicken

waiting for TWC to change the modem, i prepared this dish.  it was simple and sort of a one pot meal.  i topped it with manchego cheese.

12 oz quinoa rotini
1 large tomato diced
1 onion, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
8 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
1 cup artichokes, diced
1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives
6 oz fresh goat cheese
Red pepper flakes
Basil
Parsley
1 tbsp butter
2-3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
Salt and freshly ground pepper
4 1/2 cups chicken broth

Grill or bake the chicken and saute onions and garlic in a pan until opaque.  Throw the chicken, onions, and garlic in, mix the rest of the ingredients in the pot.  Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil mixture, stirring and turning pasta frequently with tongs, until pasta is al dente and water has nearly evaporated, about 9 minutes.  top the dish with some grating cheese.
