Grilled Chicken Penne al Fresco

Hi Loves! Ok, are you looking for a super quick but absolutely scrumptious dinner for your family? I swear this one is soooooo good and EASY, a great combo for busy weeknights. This is one of my family's favorites! I can guarantee happy bellies when I whip up this dish!

Ingredients:

4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 small container of grape or cherry tomatoes
1 box of whole wheat penne
3 cups low sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup cooking white wine or any dry white wine
salt & pepper
basil leaves
shredded Parmesan
2 cups grilled chicken breasts, cut into cubes

1 - Spray a microwave oven safe dish with olive oil (did I say, microwave?! Yes, I did, wait for it!) Slice garlic into the dish and add the tomatoes. Cover and microwave on high 4-5 minutes or until tomatoes begin to burst, stirring after 2 minutes. Crush tomatoes and then add the uncooked pasta, broth, wine, salt & pepper (these are to your taste)

2 - Return baker to microwave, cover and cook on High 18 minutes or until pasta is tender, stirring after 10 minutes. While that is in the microwave cooking that is when I go ahead and grill my chicken up on the stove top as well as slice the basil into thin strips.

3 - When the noodles are cooked, add, cheese and mix well, then throw in your chicken and basil. Mix it altogether and top with some extra basil and cheese if you like.  Serve it with a fresh salad and Voila! DONE!

Let me know how your family enjoys this one!! XO
