Grilled Lemon Chicken and Pasta Aglio e Olio

Aglio e olio just means garlic and oil but it sounds so fancy and since this is such a simple meal, I love that is has a fancy name. This is seriously one of the easiest dinners ever! 30 minutes to marinate the chicken and then 10 minutes to cook. It's clean, simple flavours and so good. You may be skeptical since it's so easy and simple, but it is delicious for real!

Lemon chicken:
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 T olive oil
Juice from 1 lemon
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Pasta:
8 oz spaghetti
2-3 T olive oil
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
3 cloves garlic, smashed

In a bag combine all the marinade ingredients except the chicken. Seal the bag and shake hard to combine. Add chicken and let marinate for about 30 minutes. Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Meanwhile, warm olive oil over low heat. Add smashed garlic and red pepper flakes. Let warm together for just a few minutes. Discard of the garlic. Toss pasta in oil as soon as pasta is drained. For the chicken, remove it from the marinade and grill or roast until cooked through.
