So, tonight I only have one new recipe.  Lately I have been sticking to the usuals.  Here is one I threw together the other night and it quickly turned out to be a new favorite!  Enjoy!

Guardinal Grilled Chicken and Whole Wheat Pasta

1 1/2 lbs. Chicken Breast Tenderloins

1 tsp. Oregano

1 tsp. Basil

1 1/2 tsp. Garlic Salt

1 tsp. Black Pepper

1 can Oregano, Basil, Olive Oil Diced Tomatoes

1/4 bottle of Tuscan Italian Dressing

1/2 box of Whole Wheat Thin Spaghetti

Directions:

Cut thawed chicken into bite sized pieces and sprinkle all seasonings over top of chicken.  In a hot skillet over med-hi to hi heat spray the bottom with a grill cooking spray.  Grill the chicken until cooked through.  While chicken is cooking begin boiling water for pasta.  Salt the water and add a couple of Tbs. of oil so that the noodles do not stick (they are much starchier than other noodles and need a little oil).  Continue cooking chicken and add 2 Tbs. of dressing to the pan.  Once spaghetti is finished cooking take 2 ladles of the starch water and add to the large chicken pan.  This will deglaze the bottom of the chicken pan and start to create a sauce for the dish.  Drain the rest of the noodles and then immediately return them to the chicken pan.  With a pair of tongs gently toss the chicken and pasta.  Add the rest of the dressing and toss again.  Add the can of tomatoes (do not drain.  This is part of your sauce).  Toss and as soon as the tomatoes are warm (not hot) serve the pasta.
