{Grilled Chicken with Lemon Pasta}

This pasta was great! The key is to grill the chicken if you can and make sure it is really marinated. It just adds so much extra flavor to the pasta and goes really well with the fresh lemon flavor. Delish!














1 pound dried penne
2 chicken breasts, Marinated (recipe below)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, sliced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1-2 tsp dried parsley
2 lemons, juiced
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese


Chicken Marinade:

2/3 cup vegetable oil
6 Tbs freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 Tbs soy sauce
2 clove garlic, finely minced
1 tsp dried oregano
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Mix all the above ingredients in a large dish add the chicken and let marinade for at least 4 hours.

Once the chicken is all marinaded. Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, until al dente. Drain well. Put the pasta in a large bowl.

While the Pasta is cooking, grill chicken on a grill until done. (You could also fry them in a pan) Cut into strips.

Add the garlic and red pepper flakes to a saute pan with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and saute until fragrant. Add to the bowl of pasta. Squeeze in lemon juice, add parsley and shredded parmesan cheese. Mix all together.

Add chicken to the warm pasta and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle in dried parsley. Add the juice of 2 lemons and mix. Before serving top with Parmesan.
