Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste)
1 lb boneless chicken breasts or 1 lb boneless chicken thighs
1 lb cooked pasta (I like Penne)
1 quart prepared pasta sauce (I use home cooked, but a jar would work just fine)

Steps:

  • Mix together oil, vinegar, lemon juice, basil, parsley, oregano, and pepper flakes together in a shallow bowl.
  • Add chicken and toss to coat.
  • Marinate for at least 30 minutes or as long as 2 hours.
  • Grill or broil chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, or until throughly cooked.
  • Serve by spooning warmed sauce over hot pasta, slice the chicken and arrange on top.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the chicken came out tough and the pasta was overcooked.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken, but this dish was surprisingly good. The marinade really tenderized the chicken and the pasta was cooked perfectly.
