Who doesn't love a good pasta dish? The best thing about pasta is you can add whatever you have laying around and create a different meal every time; like I did with this Penne with Grilled Chicken & Vegetables in a Lemon Butter White Wine Sauce.

How do you make Penne with Grilled Chicken in a lemon White wine sauce?

For this recipe, I used leftover grilled chicken, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach. If you don't have any chicken already cooked, either grill some up quick on a grill pan or purchase already cooked chicken breast strips at your grocery store.

You could even use chopped store bought Rotisserie chicken. 

I then wanted to add a sauce to my dish and had a little leftover white wine from a family gathering so I decided to use that along with some fresh lemon juice and chicken stock.

If you don't have penne pasta on hand, any other type of tubular pasta like rigatoni or ziti would also work well. This recipe for Penne with Grilled Chicken & Vegetables in a Lemon Butter White Wine Sauce was delicious and so light.

I served ours with a tossed salad and had a weeknight meal ready in 30 minutes! ~Enjoy!
