Ninja Speedi: Grilled Chicken and Pasta
Recently, my dad decided to invest in a Ninja Speedi. After reading about it online, I was hesitant. How could pasta and chicken be cooked together in the same appliance? But, after using the Speedi, I am hooked. In this recipe, the chicken comes out moist, and the pasta is perfectly cooked. I would even go as far as to say that the chicken in the Speedi comes out better than it does in my oven.
