Ingredients
- 8 ounces Dreamfields Penne Rigate cooked according to package
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 ears corn husks removed
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1/2 cup scallions minced
- 1/4 cup cilantro minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Pre-heat grill to high heat. Cook pasta according to package directions. Rinse pasta in cold water; drain again. Place in large bowl; set aside.
- While grill is pre-heating, season chicken breasts with cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt and pepper. Rub chicken well to make sure chicken is evenly coated with seasonings.
- Spray grill with nonstick grilling spray. Place chicken and corn on grill. Cook chicken 3 to 5 minutes on one side until browned. Turn and cook until browned or internal cooking temperature reaches 165°F. Rotate corn every 2 minutes until all sides have a slight char and are bright yellow/white. Remove chicken and corn from grill; set aside. Cool corn. Let chicken rest at least 5 minutes. Dice chicken.
- Add tomatoes, scallions, cilantro, olive oil and red wine vinegar to pasta; toss to combine well. Add chicken. Carefully slice corn kernels off the cob right into bowl. Toss well; add salt and pepper, as desired.
Note: Dish can be served warm, room temperature, or cold. Tastes even better the next day - - great for making ahead.
