📝 Preparation Steps
1
Marinate Chicken: Marinate Chicken according to recipe directions.
2
Roasted Vegetables: Preheat oven to 400°F. Add vegetables, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper to baking sheet and toss to combine. Line vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer. (There will be a generous amount of oil – this will transfer to the pasta later). Roast for ⏱️ 12-15 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender.

Pasta: Meanwhile, cook pasta al dente in generously salted water according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water before you drain pasta. Add drained pasta to a very large mixing bowl or pot.
4
Chicken: Meanwhile, remove chicken from marinade and proceed to grill chicken or cook indoors by heating 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook for ⏱️ 3-5 minutes or until well browned on one side. Flip chicken over, reduce heat to medium, cover and cook an additional ⏱️ 5-7 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (time will depend on chicken thickness). Remove to a cutting board to rest for ⏱️ 5 minutes before slicing.
