Grilled Chicken with Fresh Green Beans and Alfredo-Style Pasta

—-

3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

steak seasoning (Grillmates preferred)

Italian salad dressing

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

8 ounces fresh green beans, snapped in half

16 ounces penne pasta, cooked and drained

1 8-ounce container whipped butter, softened

1 6-ounce wedge Asiago cheese, grated

Sprinkle the chicken breasts with the steak seasoning and place them in a shallow pan. Cover the chicken with Italian dressing, to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill over medium-high heat on a gas grill, or over medium-hot charcoals for 3 to 5 minutes each side. Slice into strips, cover and keep warm.

Heat the olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the green beans and cook for about 5 minutes, or until tender-crisp.

Place the hot, cooked penne in a large bowl. Immediately add the butter and stir until melted. Stir in the grated cheese until melted. Add the green beans and grilled chicken. Toss to combine and serve. Serves 6.
