GIADA'S CHICKEN IN LEMON CREAM AND PENNE



Giada's Chicken in Lemon Cream and Penne image

This recipe is incredibly easy and delicious! The lemon makes it really refreshing--we've been enjoying it this summer. I've used different types of pasta (most recently linguini) and all of them have worked really well! A great week-night meal!

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb penne pasta (or substitute your favorite type of pasta or spaghetti)
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced into 1-inch cubes
1 teaspoon herbes de provence
1 pinch salt, plus
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 cups heavy cream
1 lemon, zest of
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (I usually just sprinkle dried parsley, still tasts great!)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, season with salt. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Season the cubed chicken with herbes de Provence, salt and pepper. Cook the chicken until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken and set aside. Pour off excess oil from pan.Drain. Add the chicken broth the pan and cook over medium-high heat, scraping up any bits with a wooden spoon. Add the cream, lemon zest, and cayenne. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Add the pasta, chicken, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, chopped parsley, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the pasta and chicken with the sauce and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemon juice. Fresh lemon juice will give your dish the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemon juice, you can use bottled lemon juice, but it won't be as good.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts can dry out quickly, so it's important to cook them over medium heat and not overcook them. You can check if the chicken is done by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a good quality pasta. The pasta is an important part of this dish, so it's important to use a good quality pasta. Look for a pasta that is made with durum wheat and has a nice texture.
  • Add the lemon cream sauce to the pasta while it's still hot. This will help the sauce to coat the pasta evenly.
  • Serve the dish immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it's made.

Conclusion:

This lemon cream chicken with pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, the lemon cream sauce is rich and creamy, and the pasta is cooked to perfection. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
