Number Of Ingredients 13

3 boneless (skinless chicken breasts, dried with paper towels)
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 oz dried linguine
4 TB salted butter
2 1/2 TB flour
1 cup regular chicken broth
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup basil leaves (torn or chopped)
1/2 cup freshly shaved parmesan cheese
Note: If you'd like to add veggies (simply boil some spinach or kale leaves along with the pasta during last 2 minutes of cooking.)

Steps:

  • Sprinkle both sides of chicken breasts with a light layer of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Grease and heat outdoor grill or indoor cast iron grill pan. Grill chicken over medium-high heat until just cooked, approx 3-4 min. per side, depending on thickness. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook linguine according to package instructions, to al dente. Drain and keep warm.
  • While pasta is cooking, melt butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Add flour and whisk well until combined. Add chicken broth, lemon juice, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Bring to a boil. Immediately reduce to simmer for 2-3 min. or until sauce is thickened. Toss sauce with cooked linguine. Slice grilled chicken and toss with linguine. Divide into 4 plates. Sprinkle basil and parmesan onto plates and serve.

BASIL CHICKEN AND PASTA



Basil Chicken and Pasta image

This is a great quick meal; the chicken and sauce can be prepared in the time it takes to cook the pasta. You can add more cream or less pasta if you like it creamier. Try ziti or farfalle pasta to add even more variety to this recipe. The leftovers don't heat very well, so eat it all up the first time!
