Perfect Summer Chicken

*Perfect summer chicken*

This chicken will go perfectly with THIS pasta.

Ingredients:
Any chicken that you like, I use boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
*drumsticks goes great with this as well as chicken breast.
Lemon pepper
Garlic salt
Canola oil

What to do:
Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag.
Add oil, garlic salt and lemon pepper in bag. (Add as much or as little you want of the seasoning)
Close bag and mix the ingredients around and let marinate for 4-6 hours. You could also make it within 20 minutes but the longer it sits the more flavor it gets.

Cook on a grill (indoor or out) and enjoy.
I also chop up the chicken and make tacos. YUMMY

For breast I butterfly the chicken before I marinate.
Cook time if you do this is 4 minutes on each side.

Drumsticks cook time 10 minutes on each side.

Boneless skinless chicken tights cook time 6 minutes on each side.
If you use tights with the bone in cook for 10 minutes on each side.

Fresh & Easy Pasta for the Summer.

*Fresh & Easy Pasta for the Summer*
Ingredients:
1 pound of angel hair pasta, break pasta in half (easier for toddlers to eat).
*if you have really small kids use short pasta for this.
Canola oil
Salt
Pepper
Parmesan cheese.

Cook pasta according to directions, leaving 1 cup of pasta water for sauce. Drain pasta. Combine pasta water, oil, salt and pepper in a bowl. Add pasta and parmesan cheese and toss.

This dish is very simple and doesn’t have that heaviness that meat sauces have so its just perfect for the summer months.
