Looking for a delicious dish for your family that’s quick and easy to make? This Summer Garden Pasta With Grilled Chicken is just the thing you need. Full of veggies, fresh herbs, olive oil, angel hair pasta and grilled chicken, this pasta is a must try.
Two of my favorite ingredients in this pasta are the Sliced Greek Kalamata Olives & the Roasted Red Bell Pepper Strips, both from Mezzetta, they add so much flavor to this dish. I really love that this dish takes less than an hour to make, it’s delicious and so simple to make.
You start by seasoning and grilling your chicken. While the chicken is cooking add the tomatoes, olives, red bell pepper strips, garlic, red pepper flakes, black pepper, sea salt and olive oil to a bowl and combine.
Add the chopped basil and set aside. Cook your angel hair pasta according to the directions on the box and once cooked and drained add the the bowl with the vegetable mixture, add your Parmesan cheese and combine well.
Transfer mixture to a serving bowl, top with the diced grilled chicken, add fresh basil leaves and enjoy.

I love this summer garden pasta with grilled chicken. So good! Yummy! I hope I can make it soon.
This dish is amazing! I love Mezzetto olives!
This looks delicious. I am planning to adapt it without the chicken (I am vegetarian), and with a thicker spaghetti for bulk. I think it will still taste good 🙂
This looks yummy and I adore sun-dried tomatoes. Plus I recently started getting really into olives too.
What a great combination of flavors! This sounds so yummy and flavorful, and not too hard to make as well.
