Grilled Chicken Pasta Primavera

This Grilled Chicken Pasta Primavera is a twist on a version that my mother in law makes, and just happens to be my husband’s favorite. She was so kind to share this recipe with me so I can share it with you. The only thing I switched was that we grilled the chicken on an outdoor grill instead of cooking it over the stove. Grilled chicken paired with fresh summer veggies and garden herbs with a healthy sauce makes this a perfect summer supper that you can enjoy on the patio with a tossed salad, crusty bread and a tall glass of lemonade.

Suggestions for this Primavera Recipe

• Give the chicken tons of zesty flavor by using our balsamic marinade. It’s so easy to make and is so flavorful!
• If you are able to use garden tomatoes and/or squash, do it! The summer flavor of garden fresh tomatoes can’t be beat.
• There’s no heavy cream in this recipe so you can keep calories low by letting the flavors of the vegetables, chicken and herbs take center stage.
• Make this pasta primavera with whole wheat noodles for extra fiber and nutrients.
• Go light on the cheese for an extra healthy meal.
• I love using fresh herbs from my garden, but you can find beautiful summer herbs in the grocery store in the produce section. Fresh is definitely best in this recipe.
• We love grilling our chicken on the outdoor grill, but you can certainly cook it on grill pan inside or even in bake in the oven.
