My cooking has gone sour!

Lemon Chicken and Broccoli Pasta


Since you are too busy working that you had to leave Pittsburgh early, I thought I should show you what you missed the week after graduation. This is the second time I made this meal and it was delicious each time... and easy! Everyone but Abby has seen this before so this ones just for you ;) Enjoy!


Ingredients:
  1. Two Chicken Breasts
  2. 2 Broccoli Stems
  3. 3 Lemons
  4. Crushed Red Pepper
  5. Olive Oil
  6. 3 Garlic Cloves
  7. Salt and Pepper

Grilled Chicken

  • I decided to marinade the chicken using an olive oil base. In a plastic bag I combined the olive oil and the chicken with various spices including garlic powder, salt, pepper, and parsley.
  • After the chicken marinated for some time I grilled it and chopped it into medium sized pieces.


Pasta and Broccoli
  • First get your pasta (penne) cooking so that it will be ready when your broccoli is done.
  • In a separate bowl, chop your broccoli and mix it with red pepper and the juice from half a lemon.
  • Next in a large pan, begin heating your olive oil and red pepper.
  • When heated, add your sliced garlic cloves.
    After garlic begins to cook add your broccoli and begin to saute them.
  • When Pasta is cooked, drain and add to your broccoli pan.
  • You may want to add more olive oil, red pepper, and lemon juice to the batch.
  • Let cook for a while and stir occasionally.
  • When fully cooked put in a large bowl and add chicken.
  • Roughly chop parsley and add to bowl.
  • Squeeze the juice from two lemons into the bowl and stir.
  • Plate pasta and top with mozzarella or parmesan cheese.
