Steps:

• Make the pasta salad: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, according to the package directions. Drain the pasta, transfer to a large bowl, and let cool slightly. Add the tomatoes, mozzarella, chicken, basil, artichokes, olives, and Parmesan.

• Brush olive oil lightly over one side of each bread slice, using no more than 1 tablespoon all together. Cut garlic clove and rub oiled side of bread with the cut side of garlic.
• Prepare stove-top grill, if using. Grill or broil bread on prepared side until it browns.
• Whisk the remaining oil with the vinegar and mustard.
• Trim, wash and dry the arugula, and set aside.
• Wash, trim and thickly slice the tomatoes, leaving any cherry or tiny pear-shaped tomatoes whole.

Arrange tomato slices on the bread, and scatter the remaining tomatoes on the arugula. Sprinkle the dressing over the tomatoes. Then, turn over the tomatoes that are on top of the bread so that the dressing seeps into the bread.
