Lemon Linguine with Chicken
INGREDIENTS
- 1 Tbs. butter
- 1 boneless skinless chicken breast
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup water
- 1 Tbs. honey
- 3 Tbs. lemon juice (original recipe has 1 Tbs.)
- 1 tsp. dried rosemary
- pinch of salt
- dash of pepper
- 1/2 lb. linguine
DIRECTIONS
- Melt butter in a skillet.
- Add chicken breast. Cook for 7 minutes or so until it's cooked mostly on the outside (you'll add it back in later).
- Remove chicken breast.
- Add broth, water and remaining ingredients; bring to a boil.
- In the meantime, cut chicken into 1-inch pieces. Add linguine and stir.
- Cover and reduce to simmer for 10 minutes; stir occasionally.
- This prevents the pasta from sticking together! Then add cut chicken to the skillet for 5 more minutes.
- The sauce will thicken as it sits.
- If I'm feeing impatient (or there is still a lot of liquid), I will sometimes turn up the heat and boil the sauce for 30 seconds or so.
- For some reason, this thickens the sauce quite nicely.
- I've also learned that the amount of pasta you use (I guesstimate what 1/2 lb. is) affects the amount of sauce you have.
