Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 lb pasta (I use whole wheat penne)
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons McCormick grill seasoning (such as Montreal Steak Seasoning)
2 teaspoons hot sauce
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
5 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (divided)
2 large onions (sliced 1in thick)
6 chicken breasts (thin cut cutlets)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated (or Pecorino Romano)
2 arugula (washed and coarsely chopped)
1 small radicchio (a small head cored and coarsely chopped)
2 cups fresh basil (about 20 leaves, coarsely chopped)
3 celery ribs, thinly sliced
1 fresh mozzarella ball (I use a fresh ball cut into bite sized pieces)
1 pint grape tomatoes (left whole if small, cut in halves or quarters if larger)
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Heat a gill pan or outdoor grill to high heat.
  • Bring large pot of water to boil and cook pasta according to package directions until al dente.
  • In a small bowl, combine garlic, grill seasoning, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and 2 tablespoons of th vinegar and mix.
  • Whisk in 1/4 cup olive oil and divide the mixture into 2 bowls.
  • Add the sliced onion to one and the chicken to the other. Toss to coat both thoroughly and marinate for a few minutes.
  • In a salad bowl, combine mustard and remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar with a little salt and pepper.
  • Whisk in the remaining olive oil and then add the grated cheese.
  • Once pasta is cooked and drained, add it to the salad bowl and toss to coat.
  • Grill the onion slices until well marked, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Grill the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
  • Remove both onion and chicken from grill to cutting board and allow to cool for a few minutes.
  • Coarsely chop the onions and cut the chicken into slices.
  • Add them to the pasta.
  • Add the arugula, radicchio, basil, parsley, celery, mozzarella and tomato; toss thoroughly.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • ** We aren't big fans of arugula and radicchio, so we use romaine and iceberg lettuce. we've also kept the chicken, pasta and onion separate from the salad and had as 2 dishes - Ijust make a little extra dressing.
