directions

  • 1

    Coat grill with non-stick vegetable spray

  • 2

    Preheat gas grill or start briquettes, leaving the lid on

  • 3

    The grill needs to be HOT to properly seal the juice into the meat. Combine lime juice, Roses lime juice, Lemon Basil Pesto, pepper, and olive oil in a small microwave dish, and cook on high for about 1 minute, or long enough for it to boil briefly

  • 4

    Trim all fat from the chicken breasts

    Using a basting brush, paint the breasts with the pesto mixture being sure to deposit bits of pepper on the chicken

  • 6

    Place chicken breasts on grill and cover again, cooking for about 3 min- utes, or long enough to sear lines into the breasts

  • 7

    Paint the tops of the breasts, turn, then paint the seared side

  • 8

    Turn again after about 5 minutes, changing the angle to sear a nice cross pattern into the breasts, painting before and after each turn

  • 9

    After both sides have been turned twice, remove from grill and shred into bite-sized chunks with two forks. Meanwhile, cook bowties in until al dente, and drain

  • 10

    In a large saute pan, melt butter and add sour cream and milk

  • 11

    Simmer gently, stirring con- stantly for 3 minutes

  • 12

    Slowly add cheese, stirring constantly

  • 13

    Place mushrooms, scallions, and broc- coli in a ceramic dish and dot with a pat of butter

  • 14

    Cook, covered with plastic wrap, in the microwave on high for 4 minutes

  • 15

    Immediately add vegetables to sauce along with shredded chicken breast

  • 16

    Stir to coat with sauce and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place pasta on individual plates and top with sauce
