Creamy Roasted Red Pepper and Basil Bowtie Pasta with Grilled Chicken

How to make Creamy Roasted Red Pepper and Basil Bowtie Pasta with Grilled Chicken Recipe -  This simple and flavor-packed grilled chicken pasta is one of our favorite weeknight dinners. It's amazing how much flavor roasted red peppers bring to this incredibly easy sauce. Let the kids hunt for their favorite shaped pasta at the grocery store to get them involved with dinner. Enjoy with a simple green salad and a steamed vegetable of your choice.

Ingredients:
2 large boneless skinless chicken cutlets
1⁄2 cup prepared Italian dressing of your choice
1 15-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1⁄2 cup heavy cream
8 fresh basil leaves, chopped
1 pound bowtie pasta
4 tablespoons (1⁄2 stick) butter
1⁄4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Method:
1. Place the chicken and dressing in a large zip-top bag and marinate for 20 to 30 minutes.

2. Preheat an outdoor or indoor grill to medium-high heat.

3. Add the roasted red peppers and garlic to a food processor and pulse until smooth. Heat in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the heavy cream and basil leaves and stir to combine.

4. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain, then add the pasta back to the pot over low heat. Add the butter and Parmesan cheese, stirring to melt the butter.

5. Remove the marinated chicken from the bag and grill until cooked through, about 5 minutes on each side. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into 1⁄2-inch strips. Place the pasta in a large serving bowl. Top with the sauce and grilled chicken strips.
