LEMON HERB CHICKEN PASTA RECIPES

Steps:

• Place a grill basket on the grill; preheat grill to high. Put a saucepan of water on to boil.
• Combine yogurt, lemon zest and juice, oregano (and/or marjoram), garlic, 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl; set aside.
• Toss chicken, bell pepper and onion in another large bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
• Reduce grill heat to medium. Oil the grill basket and add the chicken and vegetables. Grill, stirring once or twice, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp, 14 to 16 minutes total.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in the boiling water according to package directions. Toss the chicken, vegetables and pasta with the reserved sauce.

Steps:

• Place chicken, garlic, lemon zest, chives, thyme, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1/4 cup olive oil in a resealable plastic bag; toss to coat chicken and refrigerate for 3 hours or up to overnight.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir chicken with marinade until chicken is no longer pink at the center and juices run clear, about 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken from pan; set aside to keep warm.
• Drizzle about 1 teaspoon oil into the same skillet over medium-high heat; stir in zucchini and red pepper flakes and cook until zucchini is warm, about 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Stir ricotta cheese and basil into zucchini; cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
• Return chicken to pan with zucchini mixture; stir to combine. Remove pan from heat, squeeze lemon juice over entire dish, and garnish with diced tomatoes.
