Method

Pasta Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Spaghetti

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Chicken Preparation

  1. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from grill and let rest before slicing.

Vegetable and Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped red onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add cherry tomatoes and black olives, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until tomatoes start to burst.

  2. 4

    Add the White Wine

    Pour in white wine and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to allow the alcohol to cook off and the sauce to reduce slightly.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the sliced grilled chicken to the skillet along with chopped parsley and parmesan cheese. Stir well to combine and remove from heat.

Garlic Bread Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Garlic Bread

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Slice the French bread in half lengthwise and spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over each half.

  2. 7

    Bake the Garlic Bread

    Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing.

Final Assembly

  1. 8

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti with the chicken and vegetable sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Serve the Mediterranean pasta warm with slices of garlic bread on the side.
