Browned Butter and Mizithra Cheese Pasta with Chicken, Spinach and Herbs image

It's so hard to find recipes with Mizithra cheese other than the typical browned butter, so here is a new twist on an old favorite! Great for summer evenings! I like to use a George Foreman® grill to cook the chicken.

Time 41m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
cooking spray
1 teaspoon seasoned salt, or to taste
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
¼ cup butter
1 cup chopped fresh spinach
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
3 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed
½ cup grated Mizithra cheese
¼ cup pine nuts
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.
  • Spray a grill pan lightly with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Sprinkle seasoned salt on both sides of chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let cool slightly.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a low simmer and cook until butter has a caramel fragrance and is almost done foaming, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Combine linguine, chicken, spinach, basil, and thyme in a large bowl. Pour browned butter on top. Toss well to combine. Add Mizithra cheese and pine nuts; toss again. Garnish with freshly ground black pepper.

This dish was amazing! The browned butter and mizithra cheese sauce was so creamy and flavorful, and the chicken and spinach were cooked perfectly. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables and it was a hit with my family.

I was disappointed with this dish. The browned butter and mizithra cheese sauce was bland and lacked flavor. The chicken was also dry and overcooked. I would not recommend this dish.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. The browned butter and mizithra cheese sauce was very creamy and flavorful, but it was a bit too heavy for me. I think I would have preferred it if the sauce had been a bit lighte
