Ok so Part of this dinner I made up and part is taking from another recipe so we will see if I can actually write one out. Let me tell you though if you love lemon and pasta you will love this...YUMMY!!! For this recipe I used my pampered chef deep cover baker but you can use just a regular baking pan.
Serves 4
3 1/2 Cups penne pasta
3 1/2 Cups water
2 Chicken breasts
olive oil
3 cloves garlic
salt
pepper
2 tb butter
1 1/4 Cups of half-and-half
1 Cup chicken broth
1/3 cup lemon juice
tt (to taste) chopped basil
First cut off fat from chicken breasts and butterfly. In a large skillet cover bottom with a thin layer of olive oil and heat slightly. Add 1 chopped garlic clove and saute. Add some salt, pepper and a lemon juice. Place chicken in pan and saute until both sides have some golden color and cooked thoroughly. Remove from pan and chop up into small pieces.
Place penne pasta in deep cover baker and water. Cook in microwave for 18 min.
While pasta is cooking melt butter in pan. When melted add 2 cloves of chopped garlic and saute. Add broth and half and half. Bring to boil and reduce to simmer for 8 min. Do not heat too high or cream will burn. Add lemon juice and 1/2 ts of pepper. Simmer for 2 min stirring consistently. Remove from heat or keep on low.
When pasta is done drain any remaining water, add chicken and sauce. Stir ingredients together. Top with chopped basil and lemon zest. For a more baked pasta put in oven on broiler for a few min.
Enjoy!!!
