Number Of Ingredients 14

1 Pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (- sliced into 3/4-1'' wide strips)
2 TBS Unsalted Butter (- DIVIDED)
1 large Shallot (- finely diced)
2 Cloves Garlic (- minced)
1 TBS All Purpose Flour
2 Cups Chicken Broth
1 ½ Cups Half-and-Half
8 ounces Linguine (- broken in half)
1 ¼ Cup Peas (- (thawed if frozen) (SEE NOTES))
1 bunch fresh Basil (- 1 large sprig left whole, the rest chiffonade (thinly sliced))
1 Lemon (- zest and juice)
½ Cup Parmesan Cheese (- grated, plus more for serving)
Kosher Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper (- to taste)
Optional Garnishes: Lemon Slices, Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Steps:

  • Cook Chicken: Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a Dutch oven, or large straight sided skillet, over medium high heat. Add the chicken and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown on all sides, but not cooked through, about 4-6 minutes total. Remove chicken to a plate.
  • Saute Aromatics, then add flour: Add in the remaining tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add in the shallot and season with salt and pepper. Cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add in the garlic* and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add in the flour and cook, stirring, for another minute.
  • Add liquids, then chicken + pasta: Add in the chicken broth and half-and-half. Whisk to combine. Add back in the chicken along with the pasta and a large sprig of basil. Bring to a slow boil, stirring occasionally, then immediately reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente. Remove the sprig of basil and discard.
  • Add in the peas, lemon juice and zest. Cook for an additional minute. Stir in the parmesan and chopped basil. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Garnish & Serve: Garnish with crushed red pepper flakes, more parmesan cheese, and slices of lemon if using. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemon: Fresh lemon zest and juice provide the best flavor for this dish. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less bright.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, be 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.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is slightly firm to the bite and has a better texture than overcooked pasta. To test if the pasta is al dente, take a piece out of the water and bite into it. It should be slightly firm, but not hard.
  • Add the peas at the end: Peas cook quickly, so add them to the pasta in the last minute or two of cooking. This will prevent them from becoming overcooked and mushy.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This one-pot creamy lemon chicken pasta with peas is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. It is packed with flavor from the lemon, garlic, and Parmesan cheese, and the peas add a pop of color and freshness. The best part is that it can be made in just one pot, which makes cleanup a breeze. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy pasta dish, give this recipe a try.
