Preparation

Step 1

For Spinach, Pasta & Lemon Parmesan Dressing:
Prepare the Lemon Parmesan Dressing in a large bowl. Add the baby spinach leaves and lift the pasta out of the water on to the spinach leaves and toss.

Chicken & Lemon Parmesan Marinade:
Prepare the marinade and add the chicken breast.
Heat a large griddle and brush with olive oil. Place the marinated chicken breast on the griddle and let cook for 2 – 3 minutes on one side before turning over and finish cooking on the other side. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of the cutlet. The juices should be clear and the internal temp should be 170 degrees F.
Serve the grilled chicken over the prepared pasta and spinach.
