Grilled Chicken Pasta with Cherry Tomatoes and Zucchini
Tender grilled chicken tossed with al dente whole wheat penne, charred zucchini, and burst cherry tomatoes, finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon and fragrant basil.
INGREDIENTS
5.3 oz Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
2 oz Whole Wheat Penne
1 medium Zucchini, sliced into half-moons
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
Fresh Basil and Lemon juice to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and your favorite dried herbs, then grill over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked.
While the chicken rests, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the minced garlic, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes.
Sauté the vegetables for 5-6 minutes until the zucchini is tender and the tomatoes begin to burst and release their juices.
Slice the grilled chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces.
Drain the pasta, reserving a splash of pasta water, and add the pasta and chicken directly into the skillet with the vegetables.
Toss everything together with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a handful of torn fresh basil, adding a tablespoon of pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
