This Grilled Chicken Pesto Pasta is delicious & the perfect way to use any chicken you’re making on the grill. You can even use leftover chicken & make this exact same dish but as a pasta salad.
1) Cook the pasta according to package instructions. While the pasta is cooking, preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
2) Brush the chicken with olive oil & then season with the garlic, Italian seasoning, & salt and pepper. Place the chicken on the grill or grill pan for about 4-6 minutes then flip & cook for another 4-6 minutes until the internal heat is 165F.
3) Cut the Brussels sprouts into halves. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil to them. You can either wrap them in aluminum foil & grill for 10 minutes, or heat a skillet over medium heat & sauté them for 8-10 minutes. Either method works! The smaller you cut them, the faster they cook!
Add the chopped chicken, cooked pasta, & cooked Brussels sprouts to a large bowl. Add in the pesto & cheese. Season with salt and pepper and toss everything together until coated. Serve warm or cold.
