BBQ CHICKEN PASTA
One of my favorites is the BBQ chicken pasta at Semolina's. This recipe was copied from a cooking demonstration by one of the Semolina's chefs on the New Orleans PBS station. It's very close to what you get at Semolina's. I prefer chicken thighs but if you must boneless breasts work fine. P.S., if the best thing you ever tasted came out of a cassarole dish, this might be a little out there for you.

BARBECUED CHICKEN PASTA
I subscribe to FlyLady.net emails in an attempt to keep my life organized. This recipe came in one of these emails. I omitted the provolone cheese and only used half of the mozzarella cheese as we don't care for overly cheesy food. I also omit the green onions and cilantro. While we love the version I make, I'm sure the recipe is yummy with ALL the ingredients : )
