directions
- Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness with a meat mallet to cook evenly.
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle southwest seasoning on both sides of chicken.
- Grill chicken over coals with mesquite or hickory chips added.
- Rotate chicken a quarter turn after a few minutes to add grill marks.
- Turn chicken over after about 5 to 7 minutes and grill the other side the same way.
- When chicken is done (moist and tender) take off the grill and let rest.
- Bring a large pot of slightly salted water to a boil for the pasta.
- Add pasta and cook until it is al dente.
- Keep cooked pasta covered and warm in a slight bit of its water.
- In a small, ungreased frying pan, toast pine nuts until they are golden brown.
- Do NOT burn the pine nuts or the entire dish will taste bitter.
- Cut the outer covering (rind) off the brie.
- Throw away the rind and set the cheese aside.
- Heat a large frying pan to medium-high heat and add all of the olive oil.
- After 30 seconds or so add the tomato, garlic, parsley/cilantro and basil.
- Let this saute for about 1 minute.
- Key: Have all of the ingredients ready and next to the stove because this sauce works fast!
- Add the brie and toasted pine nuts.
- Toss or slowly stir over low heat for two minutes or until the cheese is completely incorporated into the sauce.
- Drain the remaining water off the pasta in a colander.
- Place a nice portion of pasta on a decorative plate.
- Chop the chicken breasts on a bias and place on top of the pasta.
- Ladle a fair amount of the brie sauce over the chicken and pasta.
