- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- Italian seasoning blend, to taste
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 1/2 cups, plus 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 bunch broccoli rabe, trimmed and chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 pound penne
- 1 head garlic, crushed
- Grated Parmesan cheese, to taste
1. In a bowl large enough to hold chicken, whisk together lemon juice, Italian seasoning blend, salt and pepper and slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup olive oil, stirring to emulsify. Add chicken and marinate 30 minutes.
2. Grill chicken in a preheated medium-high grill until cooked through, about 15 minutes. Set aside.
3. Bring to boil a large pot of salted water; cook broccoli rabe in boiling water until tender; drain and set aside.
4. Cook penne according to package directions.
5. While pasta is cooking, in a small saucepan combine 1 1/2 cups olive oil with crushed garlic. Simmer over medium-low heat until garlic just begins to turn golden; remove from heat.
6. In a large serving dish, combine pasta, broccoli rabe and garlic-olive oil mixture. Toss well. Top with grated cheese and chicken, sliced as desired. Makes about 6 servings.
