Arugula & Chicken With Pasta image

This recipe was developed by PASTA PRESS and printed in their magazine. This is one favorite impromptu dish during the summer months when arugula is plentiful. As the arugula threads its way through the pasta, its peppery flavor compliments the sweetness of the pan-roasted garlic and fresh tomatoes.

Categories     Chicken

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb dried plain linguine or 1 lb spaghetti
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
16 garlic cloves, chopped in large chunks
10 medium fresh tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 cup chicken broth or 1 cup dry white wine
2 quarts of tightly packed arugula leaves (about 4 bunches)
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Grill or bake the chicken breasts until medium-rare.
  • Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and reserve.
  • Heat olive oil in a large stir-fry pan over high heat.
  • Add garlic and stir-fry until golden but not burn't, about 1 minute.
  • Immediately add tomatoes and chicken stock and heat to boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
  • Add arugula leaves and toss until they begin to wilt, about 30 seconds.
  • Immediately toss in the chicken and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in plenty of rapidly boiling, salted water until el dente.
  • Drain well, and immediately add to the sauce.
  • Toss thoroughly to entangle the arugula into the pasta strands.
  • (Timing is critical. Make sure the pasta will be done immediately after adding the chicken to the sauce.) Cook 1 to 2 minutes longer until all ingredients are heated through.
  • Serve immediately, sprinkling parmesan cheese over each serving.
  • Arugula is a peppery leafy vegetable resembling spinach leaves with ragged edges.
  • It is generally available during late spring and summer.
  • If it is not available, substitute fresh spinach or a 50/50 blend of watercress leaves and spinach.

This was a delicious and easy-to-make dish. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the pasta was cooked al dente. The arugula added a nice peppery flavor, and the lemon-butter sauce was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices and herbs to the chicken marinade.

I found the chicken to be a bit dry. I think I would cook it for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt in the chicken marinade and the lemon-butter sauce.
