Lemon Cream Pasta with Chicken

Lemon and Garlic Grilled Chicken:
Juice of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 pound chicken breasts (cut small, thin pieces)
*****
Combine all marinade ingredients. Place chicken in a ziploc bag and pour marinade over chicken. Seal bag and place in fridge overnight. Grill (or cook in frying pan). Often, I will double the marinade and chicken and grill it all up and freeze the extras to use later.
