LEMON-ASPARAGUS SPAGHETTI WITH BASIL CHICKEN



Lemon-Asparagus Spaghetti with Basil Chicken image

My version of lemon-asparagus spaghetti served with chicken and pesto.

Provided by Libby Quijano

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ (16 ounce) package spaghetti
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
¼ cup basil pesto, or to taste
1 bunch asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ medium lemon, juiced
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain, reserving some pasta water.
  • While spaghetti is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Flip, add a dollop of pesto to each breast, and continue to cook, flipping as needed, until no longer pink in the centers, 7 to 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Heat remaining oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Add asparagus and cook for 1 to 3 minutes, depending how tender you like it. Add garlic, pepper flakes, and lemon juice; cook for 1 minute. Add cooked spaghetti, a dollop of pesto, and Parmesan cheese; stir until cheese melts. Add a tablespoon of the reserved pasta water if cheese begins to stick to the pan.
  • Chop chicken and add on top of spaghetti. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Cook the chicken and asparagus separately: This will help to ensure that both ingredients are cooked evenly.
  • Use a flavorful marinade for the chicken: This will help to infuse the chicken with flavor and make it more tender.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Use a light sauce: A heavy sauce will weigh down the dish and make it less enjoyable.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
