Lemon Chicken Linguine

I made this for dinner last night and thought is was so delicious, so I figured that I would share it! It is a very light sauce which is why I liked it so much. It didn't feel as heavy as pasta usually does.  I think it could be really good with just veggies instead of chicken too.

Lemon Chicken Linguine

Cooking time: 35 min

What you'll need:
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 pound linguine or other long pasta shape
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
What to do:
  1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat; add the chicken and brown it 3 to 4 minutes on each side.  Remove the chicken from the saucepan.
     
  2. Add remaining ingredients, except the pasta and parsley, then bring to a boil and add the pasta. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
     
  3. Meanwhile, cut the cooked chicken into 2-inch by 1/4-inch strips. Add to the mixture, cover and simmer 5 minutes; stir.
     
  4. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
