3 Cloves garlic
EVOO
1/2 Cup dry white wine

I've been really into kale lately. Not only is it super healthy, it's a nice change from boring old spinach. The kale and white beans add some texture to the pasta and the lemon-herb grilled chicken round out this healthy dish.

Bring a pot of water to a boil for the pasta. In the meantime, pound the chicken to a 1/2 inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper and let marinate in garlic, basil, oil and lemon juice for 5-10 minutes while the grill heats up. Grill the chicken, then set aside.

Heat oil in a large saute pan over media high heat, add garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add kale, letting it cook down for 2-3 minutes. Then add beans, wine, lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, then let the sauce reduce while the pasta cooks.

When the pasta is just about al dente, drain and add to the saute pan. Toss until combined, and add Parmesan cheese. Top pasta with grilled chicken.
