Ingredients
8 oz uncooked spaghetti
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 large green bell pepper, cut in half
1 large red bell pepper, cut in half
1 medium yellow squash, halved lengthwise
1/2 cup finely-chopped fresh parsley
1/3 cup dry white wine
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp finely-grated lemon peel
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
Directions
Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt. Drain; set
aside.
To prevent sticking, spray grid with nonstick cooking spray. Prepare coals
for grilling.
Place chicken, peppers and squash on grill 5 to 6 inches from medium-hot
coals. Grill 10 to 12 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center
and vegetables are soft to the touch. Remove from grill. Cool slightly;
cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
Combine parsley, wine, lemon juice, oil, garlic, lemon peel, salt and
pepper in medium bowl. Toss cooked chicken and vegetables with 1/3 cup
sauce. Toss pasta with remaining sauce. Place chicken and vegetables over
pasta; serve.
This recipe yields 8 (1-cup) servings.

Comments: The grilled chicken and vegetables are an added flavor bonus to
this delicious dish exploding with the characteristic flavors of fresh
green bell peppers, red bell peppers and yellow squash. If you do not have
access to a grill, broil the chicken and roast the vegetables in the oven
for similar flavor results.
