Basil, Lemon, and Garlic Chicken Pasta
Sounds very good! Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, cut into strips
- 2 tablespoons basil paste, OR make from a shortcut
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 lemon, juice and zest
- 1 1/2 cups dry Penne pasta, cooked and drained, or any amount you desire
- 6-8 zucchini, sliced
- 1 cup cream
- Parmesan cheese, shredded, to serve
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large heavy-based pan, add garlic, chicken pieces, and courgettes for about 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Stir in the basil paste, lemon juice, lemon zest, cream, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes to thicken the sauce.
- Serve over Penne pasta and top with shredded Parmesan cheese.
Notes
This is a low cost but great sounding meal. Until I make this, I will say easily under $1 per serving.
