A friend made this, for a team meal. My boys loved it, so I got
the recipe. They said that this was as good as hers! I didn't pound the chicken. I don't own a mallet. I served it with a salad and broccoli.
Grilled Cajun Ranch Chicken Pasta
INGREDIENTS
| Chicken |
| 1/2 | cup olive oil |
| 1/2 | cup ranch dressing |
| 3 | Tbsp Worcestershire sauce |
| 2 | Tbsp Cajun seasoning |
| 2 | tsp salt |
| 1 | tsp lemon juice |
| 1 | tsp white vinegar |
| 1/4 | tsp ground black pepper, or to taste |
| 1 | Tbsp white sugar, or to taste |
| 4 | skinless, boneless chicken breast halves |
| Pasta |
| 16 | oz bowtie pasta |
| 2 1/2 | cups heavy whipping cream (can substitute evaporated milk) |
| 3 | cloves garlic, crushed |
| 1 | Tbsp pepper |
| 2 | tsp Cajun seasoning |
| 1/4 | cup butter |
| 1/2 | c. shredded Parmesan cheese |
INSTRUCTIONS
| Chicken |
| 1. | In a medium bowl, stir together the olive oil, ranch dressing, Worcestershire sauce, cajun seasoning, salt, lemon juice, white vinegar, pepper, and sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes. Pound chicken breast to 1/4" thickness. Place chicken in the gallon size ziplock bag, and stir to coat with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (the longer the better). Preheat the grill for medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear. Slice and serve over pasta. |
| Pasta |
| 1. | Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain; set aside. |
| 2. | In a small saucepan, melt butter, add garlic, whipping cream, Cajun seasoning, pepper and parmesan cheese. Whisk together on low heat for 5-6 minutes. In a large bowl, pour over cooked, drained pasta. Top with Cajun ranch chicken and sprinkle a little bit more shredded parmesan cheese on top. |
