Creamy Lemon, Asparagus, Chicken Pasta Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by SMorrissey

Number Of Ingredients 12

GARNISHES:
1 pound chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, grilled and cut into strips
1 pound asparagus, ends removed, cut into 1-inch pieces
10 ounces linguine pasta (spaghetti or fettuccine will also work)
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons of butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, finely shredded
Lemon slices, optional
1/4 cup chopped parsley, optional

Steps:

  • Set your grill to high heat. Lightly season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken breasts until done. To check for doneness, the safest and surest method is to use a digital meat thermometer. Insert the tip into the thickest part of the breast and when the internal temperature reaches 165°F, remove it from the grill. and slice into strips, set aside. Cook the pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Add the asparagus to the pot during the last 3 minutes of cooking time. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta cooking liquid. In a small pot, combine the heavy cream, butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until thick enough to coat a spoon, about 4 minutes. Stir in the lemon zest and juice and remove from the heat. Place the pasta and asparagus back into the pot you cooked them in along with the grilled chicken breasts cut into strips. Pour the cream sauce over the pasta mixture and toss to coat evenly, adding pasta water if needed to thin the sauce. Stir the parmesan cheese into the pasta. Add more salt and pepper to taste if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon slices if desired.

This was a delicious and easy dish to make. I used whole wheat pasta and grilled chicken, and it was still really flavorful. The sauce is creamy and tangy, and the asparagus is cooked just right. I will definitely be making this again.
