According to one Chili's spokesperson, "The Guiltless Grill selections are extremely popular. Guiltless Grill was a smash from the start." This clone recipe makes two huge dinner-size portions, just like the restaurant serves. The recipe should even be enough for three, perhaps four—if there's a big dessert coming.

Do This
1. Prepare the chicken marinade by combining the marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Add the chicken breast fillets to the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 24 hours. If you're in a hurry, you can get by with a minimum of four hours marinating time, although the flavors will not be as intense.
2. When the chicken is marinated, prepare the sauce by combining all of the ingredients in a large saucepan over high heat. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until the diced tomato is soft, the onions are translucent, and the sauce thickens.
3. About 20 minutes before the sauce is done, prepare the penne pasta by bringing 4 quarts of water to a boil. Dump the penne into the water, stir, and cook for 11 to 15 minutes or until it is al dente, or tender but not soft. Drain.
4. As the pasta cooks, grill the chicken fillets on a preheated barbecue or indoor grill set to a high temperature for 4 to 7 minutes per side or until done.
5. As the pasta and chicken cook, steam the vegetables in a steam basket over boiling water or in a steamer, for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender. Salt and pepper the vegetables to taste.
6. Build the dish by arranging half of the pasta on a plate. Distribute half of the vegetables over the pasta and spoon the marinara sauce over the top. Slice a chicken fillet into bite-size pieces and arrange over the top of the pasta. Repeat for the second serving.
Makes 2 large dinner portions.

Makes a HUGE bowl of food, it fed 4 people. You surely feel good after eating it. It's healthy, full of vegetables and a satisfying lunch. I shaved some parmesan cheese on mine after plating it up. Great meal!
