Pasta with Grilled Chicken+Mozzaralla

On my search for healthy recipes I came across this one and it sounded delicious, but I was very skeptical about trying as its main component is pasta, which is a carb and I am very anti-carb, but I tried it any way and it was deeliciouus! Soo here is my slightly adjusted version:
(original can be found here-http://www.marthastewart.com/312662/shells-with-grilled-chicken-and-mozzarel)

Pasta with Grilled Chicken+Mozzarella:

Ingredients-

  • salt and pepper
  • 4 Chicken Breasts
  • 8 ounces medium pasta
  • 6 medium tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 ball of mozzarella, cut into cubes
  • handful of parsley+basil, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Parmesan for serving (if you want)

Method-

 1.Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for pasta.
2.Cook pasta until al dente, according to package instructions.
 3.Meanwhile, heat grill to medium.
 4.Cut the Chicken breasts in half length ways and lightly season with salt and pepper.
 5.Grill until cooked through, don't forget to turn halfway through! 
6.Remove from grill, and cut into thin strips, halving if long.
 7.Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain pasta, and return to pot. 
  8.Add chicken, tomatoes, mozzarella, parsley, basil, and butter. 
 9.Toss/stir to combine. 
10.Add reserved pasta water to create a sauce that coats pasta (you may not need all the water). 
11.Serve with Parmesan.
12.ENJOY!
 My family all loved this recipe, which is very rare and it is also very flexible so you can easily make it your own.
