Pasta Shells With Chicken and Brussels Sprouts image

If you've always thought that you dislike Brussels sprouts, you've probably never tried them in a combination like this. Mild chicken tames the strength of the sprouts while garlic, lemon juice, red-pepper flakes and Parmesan unite the two main ingredients and complement them both. Frozen Brussels sprouts are surprisingly good in this recipe, too, though not as fine as fresh.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons cooking oil
3 tablespoons butter
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/3 lb. in all)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 red onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped

Steps:

Add the chicken, lemon juice, parsley, Parmesan, and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, 3/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper. Remove from heat.
  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta, until just done, about 10 minutes. Drain and toss with the sauce.

The Brussels sprouts were a bit too hard for my liking. I think I'll roast them for a few minutes longer next time.
