Grilled Chicken and Pepper Pasta-3

Spring is finally here! It was so gorgeous this weekend that I wanted to spend every second possible outside. From the looks of my blog analytics, we’re all on the same page… there weren’t very many people looking at recipes this week and I definitely don’t blame them.  I have the perfect recipe for you though – it takes practically no time or effort at all. If you have a burner on your grill, you can even make the whole thing outside (and it will be done in even less time, since those grill burners are so hot that they bring water to a boil in the bat of an eye!)

The ingredients in this pasta are really simple, but they work together to give it a ton of fresh, bold flavor. To make it, you’ll need thinly sliced chicken breast, linguine, red and yellow bell peppers (I bought pre sliced peppers, which were half the price of whole ones), fresh oregano, and feta. Marzetti Simply Dressed Champaign Vinaigrette pulls everything together – you’ll use it as a marinade for the chicken and to dress the final dish. (You could also use Simply Dressed & Light Cesear Dressing).

This pasta is delicious warm, but it’s also fabulous served as a chilled pasta salad. I can’t wait to eat the leftovers!

    Hello Lauren! This looks like a wonderful dish and is very similar to another my family and I enjoy making. I was wondering why you say to place the peppers in the colander as you drain the pasta? I’ve never heard of doing that before; does it help enhance the flavor?

      I know, it’s kind of a funny step but I find that putting the peppers in the colander and pouting the hot water/pasta over top cooks them the perfect amount! They lose the bitterness that raw peppers can have but keep a little bit of their crunch.

    I’d try their Light Celery Seed Slaw Dressing. I love cole slaw, and it’s such a quick, easy side dish. I’ve used Marzetti Slaw dressing for years, but I’d relly like to try this lighter version for an even healthier dish.

    I hate to be cliche but I’d use the dressing in a salad 😛

    I would use the ginger sesame as a dipping sauce for asian lettuce tofu wraps

    Love using dressing not only on greens, but on potato salad as well!
