Categories: Main Dish

 

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs of spiral whole wheat pasta
  • 4 6oz chicken breasts
  • 1/2 lb of fresh mozzarella ciliegine (cherry size)
  • 1 pint of sungold tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons of minced fresh oregano
  • 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt

Prep Work

  1. Cut mozzarella ciliegine into quarters.
  2. Cut sungold tomatoes into halves.
  3. Mince oregano
  4. Mince garlic

 

Method

Allow chicken to reach room temperature. Grill chicken for 2 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Set aside. Place a pot of salted water to boil. Once the salt water starts to boil, pour pasta into the water and cook for 10-15 mins, stirring occasionally. When the pasta has finished cooking, strain the pasta so there is no leftover water. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the oregano, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, and the salt. Grab chicken and dice into 1 inch cubs. Toss all ingredients into a large mixing bowl until fully mixed and serve.
Enjoy!
