Ingredients

1 cup Olive Oil

1/2 Cup Balsamic Vinegar

6 tbsp Grey Poupon Country Style Mustard

3 tbsp minced garlic

8 tbsp splenda or sugar

6 tbsp water

pinch of cayenne pepper

4 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts

Shredded Paremesan to taste (this is not included in total calories)

Directions

Combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, garlic, splenda, cayenne pepper, and water. Pour into a gallon zip lock bag and add 4 chicken breasts. Marinate for at least 2hrs. (I throw it together in the morning and leave it in the fridge all day.) Grill chicken and boil pasta. Once the chicken is done slice into small bite size pieces. While the chicken is cooking put the marinade into a sause pan and bring it to a boil. Drain the pasta and mix it with the chicken and heated marinade. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese as desired.
