Ingredients
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, dried with paper towels
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 oz dried linguine
- 4 TB salted butter
- 2 ½ TB flour
- 1 cup regular chicken broth
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup basil leaves torn or chopped
- ½ cup Freshly shaved parmesan cheese
- Note: If you'd like to add veggies simply boil some spinach or kale leaves along with the pasta during last 2 minutes of cooking.
Instructions
- Sprinkle both sides of chicken breasts with a light layer of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Grease and heat outdoor grill or indoor cast iron grill pan. Grill chicken over medium-high heat until just cooked, approx 3-4 min. per side, depending on thickness. Set aside and keep warm.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook linguine according to package instructions, to al dente. Drain and keep warm.
- While pasta is cooking, melt butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Add flour and whisk well until combined. Add chicken broth, lemon juice, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Bring to a boil. Immediately reduce to simmer for 2-3 min. or until sauce is thickened. Toss sauce with cooked linguine. Slice grilled chicken and toss with linguine. Divide into 4 plates. Sprinkle basil and parmesan onto plates and serve.
