Zesty Grilled Chicken Pasta
  1. Begin by preheating your grill or a grill pan.

  2. Sprinkle salt and pepper over all sides of the chicken to season it.

  3. Grill the chicken over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until it is no longer pink inside.

  4. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and cover it with aluminum foil.

  5. Set aside to let it rest while you prepare the other components.

  6. While the chicken is resting, cook the pasta according to the package directions.

  7. This will ensure it is done at the right time to incorporate with your sauce and chicken.

  8. As the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

  9. Add chopped garlic, parsley, and basil to the pan, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  10. Pour in the lemon juice and reduce the heat to low.

  11. Let this mixture simmer for about 3 minutes to meld the flavors.

  12. Transfer the lemon and oil mixture to a large serving bowl.

  13. Once the pasta is cooked and drained, add it to the serving bowl with the sauce.

  14. Toss the pasta thoroughly to ensure that it is well-coated with the lemon and herb blend.

  15. Slice the grilled chicken into strips and add them to the bowl with the pasta and sauce.

  16. Toss everything together once more to distribute the chicken evenly throughout the dish.

  17. Sprinkle with lemon zest for extra flavor.

  18. Serve the pasta and chicken immediately, garnished with parmesan cheese for added richness and taste.
