Chicken and Lemon Linguine

Serves 3-4

This quick to cook dinner is perfect for a week-night when you don’t want to be cooking for long. My four-year old helped cook it and he was very pleased with the results.

Ingredients:

300g linguine, cooked according to the packet instructions (gluten-free if required)

1 tbsp olive oil 

2 chicken breasts, cut into chunks

1 clove of garlic, crushed or minced

1 Unwaxed lemon, zest and juice

150ml creme fraiche (reduced fat if desired)

30g Parmesan, finely grated 

Salt and pepper 

Step 1: while the pasta is cooking, heat a frying pan over a medium high heat and add the oil and chicken, cook, turning occasionally until the chicken is just cooked through. Add the garlic, salt and pepper to taste. Along with the lemon zest. Cook for a couple more minutes before lowering the heat and adding the creme fraiche and lemon juice. Stir until combined and then add the Parmesan and stir again. 

Step 2: Add the cooked linguine with a little of the pasta water, toss until coated. Check the seasoning and serve with vegetables or salad on the side.
