Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

1/4 cup white chia seeds
1/2 cup purified water
1 pound ground chicken
3/4 cup rolled (old-fashioned) oats
1/3 cup coarsely grated or minced red onion
1/3 cup plus 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh oregano, or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
12 ounces whole grain linguine
1/3 cup half-and-half
Juice and zest of 1 large lemon
2 tablespoons thinly sliced or chopped fresh basil (optional)

Steps:

In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together the chia seeds and water and let stand for about 20 minutes. (Makes 3/4 cup extra-thick chia gel.)
Prepare an indoor or outdoor grill, or preheat the oven to 475°F.
In a large bowl, use your hands to evenly combine the chia gel, ground chicken, oats, onion, 1/4 cup of the cheese, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the parsley, oregano, garlic, 1 teaspoon of the salt, 1/2 teaspoon of the black pepper, and the red pepper flakes. When evenly combined, firmly form mixture into 20 meatballs (about 3 tablespoons each).
Grill over medium heat until well done and brown on all sides, about 15 minutes, rotating only as needed. Alternatively, line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with cooking spray. Arrange the meatballs on the baking sheet and roast until well done, about 20 minutes. Insert 4 (10-inch) skewers into cooked meatballs, 5 meatballs each. If necessary, keep warm in 175°F oven while preparing linguine.
Cook the linguine according to package directions. Drain the pasta, reserving 3/4 cup pasta cooking water.
Bring the half-and-half, the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, and reserved pasta water to a boil over high heat in a large saucepan. Add the drained pasta and toss to combine. Add the lemon juice and toss to combine. Add the remaining 1/3 cup of cheese, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper and toss to combine.
Transfer the linguine to four large pasta bowls. Top each with a skewer of chicken meatballs, sprinkle with basil and lemon zest, and serve.

GRILLED CHICKEN LINGUINE

Grilled Chicken Linguine image

My first Zaar recipe! Yummy, easy main course, only 15 minutesish to make! Add vegetables like fresh diced tomato (has to be fresh, canned will run), zucchini, sundried tomato or fresh broccoli if you like (steam and add toward the end--after milk). I would have done it but my DBF hates veggies. One idea would be to roast some Mediterranean type vegetables in the oven at 400 degrees for around 20 minutes with olive oil. Toss them into the dish.

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1/2 lb linguine (half package, cooked and drained)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 minced garlic clove
6 ounces precooked grilled chicken breasts, strips in the package (can be found in lunch meat section of the grocery store)
2 cups milk (add a little extra if needed)
3 tablespoons cornstarch (or flour if you don't have cornstarch but I find cornstarch is much better to work with in this case)
1 1/2 tablespoons basil (crushed works best but regular dried is ok)
3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch black pepper
1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese (you can now get it in Kraft's canister form, just make sure it's the shreds, not the powder)

Steps:

Cook the linguine and set aside.
Put 3 tablespoons of olive oil into a large skillet on medium-high heat.
Sweat the garlic in the olive oil for a couple minutes.
Add the chicken breast strips, cook until warm throughout.
Mix 3 tablespoons of cornstarch into the milk until blended.
Add the mixture to the skillet and cook for just a minute.
Put the the linguine into the skillet, over the sauce and chicken.
Sprinkle the basil, red pepper, sugar, salt, and pepper onto the linguine in the skillet.
Mix well, toss with grated parmesan and serve.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use a flavorful cut of chicken, such as bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs. You can adjust the amount of garlic used in the marinade depending on personal preference.
To ensure the linguine is cooked perfectly, taste it before draining. It should be al dente, with a slight bite to it.
The grilled chicken can be marinated for up to 24 hours, but it's fine to marinate it for as little as 30 minutes.
If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a grill pan over medium heat. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it's cooked through before removing it from the pan.
The grilled chicken and linguine can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This grilled chicken linguine is a simple but delicious dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the linguine is cooked perfectly. The whole dish is tossed in a light sauce made with olive oil, garlic, and Parmesan cheese. It's a quick and easy meal that's sure to please everyone at the table.
