Ingredients

4 or 5 boneless chicken breasts
Kosher salt
Fresh ground black pepper
Southwest seasoning (chili powder, Mexican oregano, garlic powder, ground chipotles (smoked jalepenos), paprika, ground cumin and ground coriander)
Olive oil, to coat
2 1/2 tablespoons pine nuts
1 pound multi-colored farfalle pasta
12 ounces triple cream brie cheese
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 cups hand-chopped ripe Roma tomatoes
3 teaspoons chopped garlic
2 tablespoons hand-chopped Italian parsley or cilantro
6 large fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped

Directions

Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness with a meat mallet to cook evenly. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sprinkle southwest seasoning on both sides of chicken. Lightly coat with olive oil. Grill chicken over coals with mesquite or hickory chips added. (In metal tray if using a gas grill). Rotate chicken a quarter turn after a few minutes to add grill marks. Turn chicken over after about 5 to 7 minutes and grill the other side the same way. When chicken is done (moist and tender) take off the grill and let rest.

Bring a large pot of slightly salted water to a boil for the pasta. Add pasta and cook until it is al dente. Keep cooked pasta covered and warm in a slight bit of its water. In a small, ungreased frying pan, toast pine nuts until they are golden brown. Key - Do NOT burn the pine nuts or the entire dish will taste bitter. Cut the outer covering (rind) off the brie. Throw away the rind and set the cheese aside. Heat a large frying pan to medium-high heat and add all of the olive oil. After 30 seconds or so add the tomato, garlic, parsley/cilantro and basil. Let this saute for about 1 minute. Key - have all of the ingredients ready and next to the stove because this sauce works fast! Add the brie and toasted pine nuts. Toss or slowly stir over low heat for two minutes or until the cheese is completely incorporated into the sauce. You should have a medium thick sauce with a beautifully rich pink color with splashes of green. Drain the remaining water off the pasta in a colander. Place a nice portion of pasta on a decorative plate. Chop the chicken breasts on a bias and place on top of the pasta. Ladle a fair amount of the brie sauce over the chicken and pasta.

Great recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Fabulous!!! Cut back on the olive oil. I thought it was a bit much the first time I made it. Once I found triple cream Brie,... I didn't see any difference between using double cream.Read more

THE ABSOLUTE BEST
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used this recipe to teach my ten-year-old grandson how to cook. This recipe is a great combination of ingredients, but it... is also an ingenous method that is can be wonderfully simplified to substitute just about any combo of ingredients that you like. He has made this for our family with prawns; with sausage, mozerella and linguini; with mussels and cajun sausage...oh m'gosh so many great combos AND he learned to mix his own herb seasoning combos. Well, next year he starts college, who do you think will be big cook on campus???? REALLY GREAT RECIPE THANKS!Read more

Will not make again
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

This recipe was absolutely bland. I am a cheese lover, especially brie, so I was excited when I came upon this. While it... looked beautiful with the many colors throughout, it had no taste whatsoever. Save that brie for something delicious!Read more

Excellent
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Delicious every time I make it. I lightened up on the Olive oil and used a mix of Brie and Cream Cheese. Added mushrooms too.
