So I had some leftover pasta sauce from the other day and I didn't want to eat pasta again , so I decided to use it with grilled chicken and it tasted amazing ! the combination of the sauce and the chicken is perfect and gives the grilled chicken a huge lift in terms of flavour and appeal. Its a simple and easy to make recipe for the weekend. So relax and enjoy !
