04 - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

# How to Make It:
01 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti, penne, and farfalle separately following package instructions. Drain each and toss with a splash of olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
02 - While pastas cook, preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Rub chicken breasts with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
03 - Grill chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side until fully cooked and juices run clear. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
04 - Gently warm marinara, Alfredo, and pesto sauces in separate small saucepans over low heat.
05 - Place each type of pasta in separate sections on a large serving platter or board.
06 - Position grilled chicken strips alongside the arranged pastas on the platter.
07 - Transfer each warmed sauce into individual small bowls and place them on the serving board.
08 - Add bowls or piles of Parmesan cheese, cherry tomatoes, basil leaves, and sliced olives onto the board.
09 - Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil over the pastas just before serving.
10 - Invite guests to mix and match the pastas, sauces, chicken, and toppings as desired.
