Simple Chicken and Pasta

Teefus

This never really happened because I didn't take photos, but if it had really happened, here's what I did:

Marinate boneless breasts in Marzetti Caesar salad dressing for 4 hours.

Prepare a pasta sauce using 8 crushed garlic cloves, one minced shallot, and 1/2 cup of minced sweet onion. Simmer in a mixture of olive oil and butter until soft. Do not brown.

Grille the chicken raised direct. The dressing coating the meat develops a nice char.

Once cooked, slice the chicken in strips and add with the sauce to a batch of Penne pasta. Add a 1/2 cup of finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Stir well.

Serve in pasta bowls and watch basketball.

If it had happened, it would have been delicious.

Too bad it didn’t happen, sounds like it would have been a keeper!

I woulda added this to my "Try" list, had it happened.

That sounds like it will be great when you get around to actually doing it. Good plan. LOL.

Sounds delicious! Interesting sauce. I might have had to add some tomatoes though.

If anyone's interested, @Zippylip did a chicken and pasta dish a couple of years ago that was outstanding. I still do it from time to time. The pics in his post succumbed to Photobucket's extortion demands, but I did find one (his pic, not mine)...

That would be good.  It's good that you have us - so you can run ideas by us and get validation before you commit to it.  

Let us know how it works out when you actually do it.

Teefus

Yup. Next time I'll break out the old camera phone. I'm here to tell you though, it was GOOD!
