As part of our next upcoming church activity we are showing the women that they can not only learn to use their grills. They can grill lots of things that they wouldn't normally think to grill. So I had fun the other day making so

Here is the recipe and now for making it on the grill.
Season the Chicken a few hours before:
I didn't have a red pepper and so I had to use green, but I like red better. Dice and wrap your veggies tightly in tin foil. Place them and the chicken on med low on the grill. About 300 degrees. 10-15 min of cook time.
On the side burner boil the water in a pot and cook the penne pasta until done then remove and drain.
I prepped the bread with butter, garlic, and prasley and wrapped it in tin foil to warm on the top rack.
In a sauce pan combine the butter and flour then whisk in the cream, broth, and seasonings.
The veggies will be done on the grill after about 10-15 minuests and then you add them to the sauce.
Dice up your cooked chicken and add that to the mixture
Mix all together with pasta and them I took the bread that was warm and placed it on a low flame for a few seconds to crisp it up.
Serve with Parmesan cheese
The best part is you can prep it all ahead of time and then the Kitchen stays cool and clean.
