Lemon Basil Pasta Salad

Submitted by: admin on April 10, 2020

6 servings

Ingredients

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (16 ounce) package rotini pasta
1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
½ cup vegetable oil
1 lemon, juiced
¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
1 (10 ounce) package baby spinach leaves

Instructions

Step 1
Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Step 2
Cook chicken breasts on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cut chicken into cubes.

Step 3
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook the rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain. Season pasta with garlic salt.

Step 4
Whisk vegetable oil, lemon juice, basil, and Parmesan cheese together in a large bowl. Add pasta, chicken, and spinach leaves. Toss to coat.

Step 5
Cover and chill for 2 hours before serving.
