Fill a large pot 3/4 full with water and bring to a boil. Add the whole-wheat pasta and cook until al dente (tender), 10 to 12 minutes, or according to the package directions. Drain the pasta thoroughly. Set aside.
Cut the asparagus and steam (I like to steam it in the microwave in steamer bags).
Warm the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Add the chicken and garlic and saute over medium-high heat. Cook until the chicken is golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the scallions and cook for about 1 more minute. Add the tomatoes, including their juice, and simmer 1 minute more.
Add the fresh parsley and salt and pepper to taste.
In a large bowl, add the cooked pasta, steamed asparagus, chicken mixture and goat cheese. Toss gently to mix evenly.
Serve and enjoy!
