Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 (16 ounce) package linguine
8 ounces chicken breasts
8 ounces large shrimp (41/60, fully cooked)
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
3 pinches salt (amount to taste)
3 dashes pepper (amount to taste)
2 tablespoons olive oil (to saute chicken)
3 tablespoons olive oil (for sauce)
1 onion (chopped)
6 garlic cloves (crushed or minced)
1/2 cup marinated artichoke (quartered)
2 tablespoons capers
1/3 cup roasted red pepper (julienne-cut)
1/2 cup sun-dried tomato (julienne-cut)
2 tablespoons lemon zest
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 cup white wine
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)

Steps:

  • Cook linguine according to packaging instructions (al dente).
  • Flatten the chicken with a meat tenderizer to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch thickness.
  • Season the chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper (both sides).
  • Heat olive oil in a sauce pan and saute the chicken on medium-high heat for 2-4 minutes (or until golden brown on both sides). Then, place the chicken in a baking dish and continue cooking in the oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees (or the chicken's internal temp reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • Slice the chicken into 1/2 to 3/4 inch bite size cubes or chunks. Set aside.
  • This recipe calls for 'fully cooked shrimp' so make sure your shrimp is fully cooked, warmed, and thawed. Set shrimp aside.
  • In the sauce pan, at medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and add the onions until the onions caramelize and release their fragrance. Then, add the garlic, artichokes, capers, roasted red peppers, and stir for about 2 minutes (until the artichokes start to tenderize).
  • Sprinkle the pan with the flour and stir until all ingredients are coated.
  • Add the white wine and the lemon zest and stir until it reaches a boil. Then, simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Bring the heat back up then incorporate the cream. Stir for about a minute. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir When the cheese is incorporated (melts into sauce) and the sauce thickens, add the lemon juice and stir.
  • Add the sun-dried tomatoes, chicken, and shrimp then stir for about a minute. Add salt to taste.
  • Add the linguine and a little bit of the parsley (save some for garnishing). Make sure the linguine is thoroughly coated with the sauce.
  • Plate on to a large serving dish. Try to transfer the linguine first so you can top the dish with the sauce and ingredients. Garnish with chopped parsley, Parmesan, and maybe a sliced lemon and some black pepper. Enjoy.

LEMON AND GARLIC CHICKEN OVER LINGUINE



LEMON AND GARLIC CHICKEN OVER LINGUINE image

Categories     Chicken     Pasta     Sauté     Quick & Easy

Yield Anywhere from 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs of skinless/boneless chicken breasts cut up into 1 inch cubes.
4 large or 6 small cloves of garlic chopped.
1/3 cup fresh chopped parsley.
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil.
2 TBS of corn starch(wheat flour may be substituted).
1/2 tsp salt.
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper.
1/4 cup white wine.
1/2 cup chicken stock.
1/2 cup freshly grated Romano or Asiago cheese.
1 lb Linguine Pasta.
Juice from one large lemon.

Steps:

  • Add chicken to a bowl large enough to hold it all and add the garlic, white wine, salt & pepper and the corn starch. Allow to marinate for 20 minutes. Heat a skillet and add the extra virgin olive oil, when oil is hot add everything from the chicken bowl and sauté until chicken begins to brown. Add the lemon juice and chicken stock and allow to simmer until it begins to thicken. At the same time as you are preparing the above on a separate burner have your linguine boiling and drain when it reaches your desired doneness, I like mine very al dente. If sauce is too thick some water or more chicken stock may be added. Toss your pasta, chicken and parsley together and put in large serving dish. Sprinkle your cheese over the top and serve. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. It should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a flavorful broth for the sauce. This will add depth and richness to the dish.
  • Add plenty of fresh herbs and spices to the sauce. This will brighten up the flavor of the dish.
  • Serve the dish with a side of crusty bread or rice. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Chicken lemon linguine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
