Grilled Chicken And Blueberry Pasta Salad


Chicken, blueberries and pasta are a winning combination in this spa-inspired light summer meal. Use white balsamic vinegar for the dressing, a milder and less sweet version of the traditional reddish-brown balsamic vinegar.

SERVES: 8
PREP TIME: 15 Minutes
COOK TIME: 20 Minutes

Ingredients

1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon McCormick Oregano Leaves
1/2 teaspoon McCormick Black Pepper, Coarse Ground
1/2 teaspoon McCormick Sea Salt Grinder
1/2 teaspoon McCormick Thyme Leaves
1-1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast halves
8 ounces bow-tie pasta
3 ounces baby spinach (about 4 cups)
1 cup blueberries
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion

Directions

	Step 1: Mix oil, vinegar, sugar, pepper, oregano, sea salt and thyme in large bowl with wire whisk until well blended. Reserve 1/2 cup for the pasta salad. Add chicken to remaining vinaigrette; turn to coat well. Refrigerate 1 hour or longer for extra flavor. Remove chicken from marinade. Discard any remaining marinade.

	Step 2: Grill chicken over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes per side or until cooked through. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces.

	Step 3: Meanwhile, cook pasta as directed on package. Drain well. Place spinach in large serving bowl. Add hot cooked pasta; toss gently until spinach is slightly wilted. Add chicken, blueberries, onion and reserved 1/2 cup vinaigrette; toss gently to coat. Serve warm or at room temperature.
