Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
- Cook chicken breasts on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cut chicken into cubes.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook the rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain. Season pasta with garlic salt.
- Whisk vegetable oil, lemon juice, basil, and Parmesan cheese together in a large bowl. Add pasta, chicken, and spinach leaves. Toss to coat.
- Cover and chill for 2 hours before serving.

Great flavor. Used chopped garlic rather than powder. Had to add more oil and lemon the next day

As others have suggested, this recipe needs some honing. I used olive oil and found I needed to add more after I'd tossed in the pasta and chicken, along with more garlic salt and pepper. I like...

Nice change. Added lemon zest and some extra veggies to adjust it to our taste. Will make it again
