I love light pasta dishes for summer time. This one sounds really easy and delicious. With chicken being on sale at Meijer for $.99/lb its hard to pass up! Happy Eating Y'all!!

I will not expense spices/oils since most of us have them on hand. W/C means with coupon.

Chicken summer pasta

3 green onions, sliced (On sale 1/$3) $.13

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, add broccoli a few minutes before pasta is done; drain.

Cook the chicken in a pan, seasoning with lemon pepper as it cooks. When the chicken is no longer pink inside, cut into small pieces. Combine chicken to pasta-broccoli mixture. Stir in oil and sliced green onion and add lemon pepper to taste.
