BASIL CHICKEN AND PASTA

Basil Chicken and Pasta image

This is a great quick meal; the chicken and sauce can be prepared in the time it takes to cook the pasta. You can add more cream or less pasta if you like it creamier. Try ziti or farfalle pasta to add even more variety to this recipe. The leftovers don't heat very well, so eat it all up the first time!

Use a flavorful cheese. Parmesan, Asiago, or Pecorino Romano are all good choices.
Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breast can easily become dry and tough, so cook it until it is just cooked through.
Use a good quality pasta. A high-quality pasta will hold up better to the sauce and won't get mushy.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. Lemon and basil are a classic combination, but you can also try oregano, thyme, or rosemary.
Serve immediately. Lemon basil chicken parmesan pasta is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
