Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp cooking oil
3 tbsp butter
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/3 lb. in all )
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/2 red onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
3/4 lb brussels sprout, cut into quarters from top to stem end (or 1 ten oz package, frozen)
1 cup canned low sodium chicken broth or 1 cup homemade stock
1/8 tsp dried red pepper flakes
1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 lb medium pasta shell

Directions:

In a large nonstick frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon each of the oil and the butter over moderate heat. Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoons each of the salt and pepper.

In the same pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over moderately low heat. Add the red onion and cook, stirirng occasionaly, until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, Brussels sprouts, broth, and red-pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer and cook, covered, until the Brussels sprouts are just done, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken, lemon juice, parsley, Parmesan, and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, 3/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper. Remove from heat.
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta, until just done, about 10 minutes. Drain and toss with the sauce.
