Blackened chicken breast, bowtie pasta, garlic, fresh basil, and parmesan cheese in a light tomato cream sauce.

This is the dish our regulars order without opening the menu, and the one first-timers get pointed to when they ask what to try. The chicken is seasoned with our blackening spice blend and seared hot, then laid over bowtie pasta tossed in a tomato cream sauce that stays light enough to finish every bite. Fresh basil and shaved parmesan bring it home.

It has been a California Grill signature for years at our Whittier restaurant, and it travels well too, so it is a favorite for takeout and one of the most requested trays on our catering menu. Pair it with a Caesar salad and garlic cheese Italian bread and dinner is handled. Available for dine in, pickup, and delivery daily.

Pastas are cooked to order and served with garlic bread. Choose from bowtie, angel hair or fettuccine dishes with house sauces like our signature tomato cream, garlic wine sauce, Alfredo and tequila jalapeno lime, and add chicken, shrimp or salmon to make it a bigger meal.
