What's For Dinner? Week 3: Easiest Broccoli and Pasta


This week's new recipe was passed along to me by my friend Lisa, who came across it here.  This meal definitely lives up to its title...  it's about as easy as you can get!  

I added some marinated & grilled chicken to it as well.  

 

If you are ever in need of a really yummy and simple marinade, here's the one that we use a LOT:

Chicken Marinade
(for 4 chicken breasts)
1/2 C. olive oil
1/3 C. Worcestershire sauce
1/3 C. soy sauce
3 cloves of garlic, chopped

And, just for an extra bonus, here's another somewhat similar recipe that we make a lot, especially in the summer....it's so good and really easy.

Grilled Chicken & Bow Tie Pasta


You'll need:

4 chicken breasts, marinated overnight in the above marinade
1 box of bow tie pasta
1 C. olive oil
1 C. shredded Parmesan cheese (NOT grated)
1 bunch of green onions, chopped
1 container of cherry tomatoes, halved
6 leaves of basil, chopped

Directions:

1.  Grill chicken.

Slice.

2.  Cook pasta according to directions on box.

Drain.

3.  Add olive oil, Parmesan cheese, green onions, cherry tomatoes and basil to the pasta.

Toss.

4.  Top with slices of chicken.

ENJOY!
