Our pasta-loving family often requests this recipe featuring chicken and vegetables. Lemon adds a light touch to the sauce, well seasoned with garlic and herbs. Ingredients:
1 package (16 ounces) angel hair pasta |
1-1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
1 large carrot, diced |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 celery rib, diced |
3 large garlic cloves, minced |
2 cups heavy whipping cream |
5 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled |
3 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 teaspoon italian seasoning |
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute the chicken, salt and pepper in 2 tablespoons oil until no longer pink. Remove and keep warm.
2. In the same skillet, saute carrot in butter and remaining oil for 1 minute. Add onion and celery; saute 3-4 minutes longer or until tender. Add garlic; cook for 1 minute.
3. Stir in the cream, bacon, lemon juice and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 2-3 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring constantly. Return chicken to the pan.
4. Drain pasta; toss with chicken mixture. Garnish with cheese. Yield: 6 servings.
