Cook the spaghetti as per instruction written on the box, or boil for nine minutes. Drain and then rinse with cold water.
GRILLING THE CHICKEN
Season chicken breast with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder from both sides.
Add the chicken to a hot grill. If your grill is too hot, you will not need oil and the chicken will not stick to it.
Cook the chicken breast for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove and cover immediately with another plate or aluminum foil for 3 minutes, this will allow the chicken to cook further from the inside and stay tender.
Cut the chicken breast into bite size, and keep aside.
