Farfalle with Herb-Marinated Grilled Chicken

1/4 cup olive oil
2 T. balsamic vinegar
1 T. lemon juice
1 T. finely chopped fresh basil leaves
1 T. finely chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
1 tsp. finely chopped fresh oregano leaves (optional)
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 box (16oz.) farfalle or penne pasta, cooked & drained
1 jar (26oz.) Bertolli Tomato & Basil pasta sauce
in shallow bowl, combine olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, basil, parsley, oregano and red pepper flakes. Add chicken & toss to coat. Cover & marinate in fridge for 30 minutes.
Remove chicken from marinade & discard. Grill or broil chicken until thoroughly cooks.
Spoon pasta sauce on to hot farfalle & top with sliced chicken. Garnish, if desired, with additional parsley.
**We love this recipe! If I don't have fresh herbs I just use dried. And you can use whatever pasta sauce you like.
