CREAMY LEMON ROSEMARY PASTA WITH CHICKEN, ASPARAGUS & SPINACH

Steps:

• Prepare pasta al dente according to package instructions. (I would add the pasta to the boiling water around the time you begin cooking the asparagus.)
• Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. (You will know that it is ready when the oil is shimmering, or it sizzles when you place a drop of water in the oil.) Season both sides of the chicken with a pinch of salt and freshly-cracked black pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the juices run clear. Remove chicken and set aside. Wait a few minutes, then slice the chicken into thin strips.
• In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add asparagus, garlic, lemon juice and zest, and rosemary and saute for 4-5 minutes until the asparagus is cooked but still slightly crisp. Remove skillet from heat. Stir in Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, and baby spinach.
• Once the pasta is finished cooking, drain the pasta but reserve 1/4 cup pasta water. Toss together the pasta, creamy vegetable mixture and the chicken. Add some of the reserved pasta water if needed to thin the sauce. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan and/or chopped fresh parsley.

SIMPLE CHICKEN PASTA WITH ASPARAGUS, GARLIC & ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Prepare ingredients as noted. Add oil to a deep dish frying pan over medium heat on stove top. Once oil is heated, add chicken breasts, prosciutto, onion, garlic powder, a bit of salt and pepper. Saute together, stirring periodically, for 2 to 3 minutes before adding asparagus, crushed garlic and rosemary. Add chicken stock (or white wine) and cover for 3 or 4 minutes, stirring from time to time, until chicken is cooked (not overdone). (As the chicken is thinly sliced it won't take long to cook. The asparagus should be crisp with a bright colour when the pasta is served.) Add enough pasta for two people. Mix with other ingredients and heat through. This shouldn't take long. Add cheese and melt through pasta, etc. Season with pepper and serve.

ROSEMARY ROAST CHICKEN THIGHS, NEW POTATOES, ASPARAGUS & GARLIC

Steps:

• Remove the foil and mix through the rosemary. Season the chicken thighs and arrange evenly in the dish.
