Lemon Garlic Pasta w/ Grilled Chicken & Green Beans

Ingredients:
1 1/4 chicken breast(s) (1 breast is 4 oz)
1 cup(s) beans - green (fresh)
1.3 oz pasta - penne - whole wheat (dry) ( I used rice pasta because of my celiac's )
2 tsp(s) oil - olive
2 garlic clove(s)
1/4 tsp(s) pepper - red (flakes)
1/2 lemon(s)
2 tbsp(s) cheese - Parmesan (grated)

Directions:
1. Preheat grill to medium high. Grill chicken breast for 10-15 minutes on each side, or until chicken is cooked through.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain pasta.
3. Place a steamer insert in a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover and bring water to a boil. Place green beans in steamer insert and cover. Steam for about 5 minutes or until tender.
4. Mince garlic. Heat olive oil in a pan and add minced garlic and red pepper flakes. When fragrant, add cooked pasta and juice from half of a lemon. Toss to combine and garnish with Parmesan cheese. Serve with grilled chicken and steamed green beans.
5. Tip:
1.3 oz = 1/3 cup dry = 2/3 Cup cooked penne pasta.
