Cooking Quest 1
Juice and finely shredded peel of 1 lemon
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp dried basil
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cup heavy whipping cream
4 cups hot, cooked linguini
Chopped fresh parsley
Method
In a bowl combine lemon juice and peel, garlic, basil, salt, pepper, and half of the olive oil; add chicken breasts. Cover and marinate in refrigerator about an hour. Remove chicken; discard marinade. Heat remaining oil in large skillet and cook chicken breasts about 5 minutes on each side. Once cooked, remove and set aside. To the same pan add cream. Heat and whisk to scrape up browned bits in bottom of skillet; let simmer about 5 min. Cut chicken into thin slices; return to pan. Add cooked linguini; toss to mix. Transfer to serving plate and sprinkle with parsley to garnish.
Notes: You may adjust the seasoning to your taste.
