LEMON CHICKEN LINGUINE
A light pasta dish that's also good cold or at room temperature. It's attractive, versatile, and easy to change yield depending on how may you need to feed, so I love it for company with a green salad, asparagus, or fresh green beans.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Season the chicken thighs with 1 1/4 teaspoons of the salt and 1 teaspoon of the freshly ground pepper.
- Place the flour in a shallow dish. Lightly dredge the chicken in the flour and set aside.

- Add the onions to the oil and cook, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the chicken until wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, crushed red pepper, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the bay leaf and cook 1 minute. Add the lemon juice, chicken broth, and browned chicken thighs to the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover tightly, and place in the oven. Bake for 20 minutes, remove the lid and cook an additional 15 minutes, or until cooked through and tender.
- While the chicken is baking, cook the pasta until al dente, 4 to 5 minutes for dry pasta. Drain well and toss in a large bowl with 3 tablespoons of the parsley and the butter.
- To serve, place a portion of pasta in the center of 4 large plates. Arrange 2 thighs around each serving of pasta and drizzle lemon garlic cooking liquid over the pasta. Garnish with additional parsley and serve immediately.

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!

Steps:
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain. While pasta is cooking, preheat grill (indoor or outdoor). Wash chicken breasts and pat dry with a paper towel. Season both sides of chicken breasts with your choice of seasoning (just about any herb goes well with lemon, so you're pretty safe here). Lightly oil the grill. Grill chicken for approximately 6-8 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear (or until meat reached 165 degrees). Remove from heat, cool slightly, and slice. Meanwhile (while pasta and chicken are cooking), heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté parsley, lemon zest and garlic in oil until garlic is tender (be careful not to burn the garlic). Add the drained pasta to the skillet. Add the sugar snap peas and sprinkle with lemon juice and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Divide pasta among four plates. Top each plate with 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese and sliced chicken breast.

LEMON GARLIC CHICKEN OVER ANGEL HAIR PASTA
Elegant and delicious. 2/22/09 After reading some reviews and problem of too much liquid I would suggest decreasing to perhaps 1 1/2 cups or use the pasta water which has the starch from the pasta that would provide a thickener. Also, be sure all of the flour was used to coat the chicken; that could also be a part of the problem Thanks for the all the input reviewers!

Here is an improved summary tips and conclusion for the article "Lemon and Garlic Linguine with Grilled Herb-Butter Shrimp":
Summary
1. Use fresh herbs and juicy lemons for the best results. Opt for fresh parsley, basil, or rosemary, and select organic lemons when available.
2. Don't overcook the shrimp. Cook the shrimp just until they turn opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and chewy.
3. Save some of the shrimp stock for later. Before cooking the shrimp, remove the shells and save them to make shrimp stock. You can make shrimp stock by simmering the shells in boiling water for about 30 minutes.
4. Make the creamy Parmesan cheese and sun-dried tomato pesto in advance. This will save time and help the flavors meld together better.
5. Toss the shrimp and asparagus in the creamy Parmesan cheese and sun-dried tomato pesto before serving. Make sure the shrimp is fully coated to maximize the flavors.
Conclusion
