Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for this recipe. If you're using chicken breasts, you'll need to pound them thin so they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
- Use a good quality white wine: The white wine in this recipe adds a lot of flavor, so it's important to use a good quality wine. A dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, will work well.
- Don't overcook the chicken: The chicken should be cooked until it is no longer pink in the center. Overcooking the chicken will make it dry and tough.
- Serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley: A sprinkle of fresh parsley adds a bright, fresh flavor to this dish. You can also serve it with a side of roasted vegetables or a salad.
Conclusion:
This lemon and garlic chicken over linguine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is light and tangy. The linguine is the perfect accompaniment to the chicken and sauce. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
