Creamy Pasta With Chicken in Lemon-Dill Sauce image

My number one recipe of all time. Found in Starweek magazine posted from the chef at the Unionville House restaurant. Easy, one-pot meal and so creamy and delicious. I like this served with with garlic bread but is pretty rich on it's own. *Double quantities if serving more than 4.

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb medium pasta shell
1/3 cup white wine
1/4 cup extra-strong chicken stock
3 tablespoons fresh finely chopped dill
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into small bite size pieces
1 1/2 cups whipping cream (35%)
1 lemon, juice of, fresh
grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • • In a large pot of boiling water, cook pasta shells for 3 minutes to partly cook them. Drain, rinse with cold water and set pasta aside.
  • •In a separate skillet over moderately high heat, add wine, stock, dill and chicken to pot; bring to a boil and then simmer, stirring occasionally until the liquid is reduced by half (~10 mins as the chicken will also release liquid).
  • • Add cream and lemon juice to the chicken and bring the liquid back to a boil. Add the drained pasta shells and simmer over moderately high heat, stirring constantly until the liquid is reduced by half again and the sauce has thickened (~5-7 mins).
  • • Add parmesan to the pasta and salt & pepper if desired.
  • • Stir to mix thoroughly and serve immediately.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The sauce was a bit too heavy for my taste and the chicken was a bit dry. I might try it again with some adjustments.

I thought the sauce was a bit bland. I added some extra lemon juice and salt and that helped a lot. The chicken was juicy and tender though.

My first time making a creamy pasta dish and it turned out great! The sauce was smooth and flavorful, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I used penne pasta and it worked well with the sauce. Will definitely be adding this recipe to my regular rota

I tried this recipe and found the sauce to be a bit too heavy for my taste. However, the chicken was cooked perfectly and the dill added a nice touch of freshness. It's a good starting point for a creamy pasta dish, but I would make some adjustments
