TGIF's Chicken Spice Blend:

List of Ingredients




Chicken Spice Blend:

2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon paprika
fat-free butter-flavored spread or spray
4 skinless chicken breast fillets
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
dash or two ground black pepper
1 pound package penne pasta
3 to 4 quarts water

Garnish
1 small tomato, diced
fresh parsley, chopped

Preheat barbecue or stovetop grill to medium/high heat. Prepare pasta sauce by first sautéing the pressed garlic in
the olive oil in a medium saucepan. Sauté only for a minute or two over medium heat. Do no let the garlic brown or
it will become bitter. Remove pan from heat. Combine strained yogurt with cornstarch in a medium bowl. Add
evaporated milk, fat-free milk, and mustard, and mix. Pour mixture into saucepan and place it back over heat. Add
Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper, and stir.
When sauce thickens, add parsley and turn heat to low, stirring often. As sauce cooks, prepare the chicken by
combining all of the spice blend ingredients in a small bowl. Rub a light coating of butter-flavored spread or spray
over each breast, and sprinkle some of the spice blend over both sides of each chicken breast. Cook the chicken
on the grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side. Turn the chicken at a 45 degree angle halfway through the cooking time on
each side, so that you get crisscrossed grill marks on the surface.

While chicken is grilling, prepare pasta by bringing 3 to 4 cups of water to a boil in a large pan. Add pasta to the
water and cook for 12 to 15 minutes or until pasta is tender. Strain. Divide strained pasta into four portions on four
plates, and pour a generous portion of the sauce over the pasta. Sprinkle some diced tomato over the pasta on
each plate. Sprinkle some additional fresh parsley over the pasta.

Slice each chicken breast across the grain, and arrange each sliced breast on top of the pasta on each plate,
being careful to retain the shape of the chicken breast as you position it. Serves 4 as an entrée. Source: ksdk.com
