I used to work at a restaurant that served a variation of chicken with penne pasta. I didn't know how easy it would be to make until I gave it a shot at home - now it's always a requested meal around my house. Ingredients:
1 package (16 ounces) penne pasta |
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (5 ounces each) |
2 teaspoons blackened seasoning |
2 containers (10 ounces each) refrigerated alfredo sauce |
2 plum tomatoes, chopped |
3 green onions, thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain.
2. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack. Sprinkle chicken with blackened seasoning. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-8 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 170°. Cut into bite-size pieces.
3. In a large skillet, heat Alfredo sauce over medium heat until warm, stirring frequently. Add the tomatoes, onions, pasta and chicken; toss to coat and heat through. Yield: 6 servings.
