Grilled Chicken Pasta

 

I'm all about quick and easy when it comes to meals for the whole family. I have a very picky eater, and a slightly eater, so finding something we can all sit down to can be a challenge! This pasta is a sure thing, every time. It has things both the kids like, and it's not fried or drowned in a cream sauce!


1 box bow tie pasta, cooked
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, grilled
2 tomatoes, peeled, seeded, diced (Or use canned)
8oz semi-firm mozzarella cheese,cubed
5-6 large leaves fresh basil, chiffonaded
1Tbsp olive oil
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste


Start by boiling the pasta to al dente. While it cooks, salt and pepper the chicken, and grill. Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove and allow it to rest. Drain the pasta, and place in a large bowl. Chop up your tomatoes, mozzarella, garlic, and basil, and set aside. Slice the chicken into strips, or chunks, whichever you prefer, and place on top on the pasta. Add the rest of the ingredients, and toss well to combine! The heat from the pasta and chicken will slightly melt the cheese, and warm the garlic, making the pasta creamy and smell incredible! Hope you enjoy!
