This is a quick dish you can throw together in a hurry. It was inspired by a nice bunch of chives I picked up at the farmers’ market which I had no plans for. We used rotini, but fresh pasta would probably work better.
Lemony, Chivey, Chickeny, Pasta Sauce
Ingredients:
- Some sort of pasta, maybe even some Fresh Pasta
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 bunch chives
- 1 lemon
- 2 Tbs olive oil
Directions:
- Bring water to a boil for the pasta. Don’t forget some salt. Cook the pasta.
- Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally so that they are half as thick. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Cook the chicken filets over a medium-high heat with a little bit of oil. It should take 3-4 minutes per side to cook the chicken.
- Zest the lemon, removing as little of the white part as possible. Juice the lemon into a large bowl and add the zest and olive oil.
- Finely chop the chive and add them to the bowl. Chop the chicken width-wise into bite size strips. Add the chicken in with everything else.
- When the pasta is done, drain and toss in the bowl with all the other stuff. Yum.
Thank you very much for sharing these recipes. I am going to try chicken under a brick and banana chocolate crepes this weekend. I see many more recipes I intend to try over time. And the photos are a delight for the eye. I appreciate the work you put in to your website, in spite of your busy work schedules.
