recipe time!

we're in the "home stretch" right now, meaning we're having to be creative with the groceries we have left. thank the Lord that payday is Friday - for everybody!! anyway, Dad thawed out some chicken breasts to grill, and that was the plan for dinner, but I wanted to come up with something to go with it. I was thinking pasta...something...haha, and this is what I came up with:

you need:
- boneless chicken breasts - we used three, I think
- pasta - we used spaghetti, but you can use whatever you like
- one can of corn
- one can of peas - you can also use fresh veggies if they're handy.
- bacon - we used five strips. again, use what you like
- olive oil
- salt
- pepper
- one cup of parmesan cheese
- spice for the chicken - we used McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Chicken, it seems to blend really well with the rest of the flavors

coat the chicken in the spices and grill it. when it's finished, let it rest & then chop into bite-size pieces.
fry the bacon. set it aside.
boil the pasta in salted water with olive oil. drain when finished.
salt & pepper the pasta. add about a third of a cup of olive oil.
add the peas and corn. drain first if you're using canned veggies.
crumble the bacon and add it.
add the parm.
add the chicken and mix everything really well.
you can serve it either warm or chilled.

it's delicious!! I hope you enjoy it!
