I'm back with a tried and tested recipe from the latest Pinch of Nom recipe book, which is part of their Quick Meals section. This recipe is taken from their Everyday Light cookbook.
Lets get cooking!
Ingredients:
2 lemons
Freshly ground black pepper
4 chicken breasts (skin and visible fat removed)
Sea salt
Low-calorie cooking spray
200 g tagliatelle
2 egg yolks
A pinch of fresh chives/parsley, to serve (optional)
Start off by halving and squeezing one of the lemons into a bowl and add 1/4-1/2 tsp of black pepper according to your taste.
Next place the chicken into the bowl and mix well, then allow to marinate for 30 minutes.
After marinating, remove the chicken and season with salt.
Spray a griddle pan or a heavy-based frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat. Add the chicken breasts to the pan and cook for 14-15 minutes, turning halfway. Ensure the chicken is cooked through, with no pink remaining.
Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the tagliatelle, according to the packet instructions.
Mix the egg yolks with the juice of the remaining lemon and add a little salt and pepper.
When the pasta is cooked, drain in a colander, and return the pasta to the pan. While still hot, stir in the egg and lemon juice. The heat of the pasta will cook the egg.
Divide the pasta between the plates and slice the chicken breasts.
Place the sliced chicken on top of each plate, then scatter with fresh chives or parsley if you wish.
This dish was really quick and easy to make as well as the recipe being really simple to follow. I wasn't a fan of cooking the chicken whole as I got a little nervous on whether it was cooked properly. While I enjoy eating chicken, it's not my favourite thing to cook as I'm really funny when it comes to it. I wasn't confident in that it was all thoroughly cooked when I cut it into pieces so added the pieces back onto the griddle just to make sure. The dish had a really strong flavour of lemon, which while it was refreshing it also got a little too much, but I'd happily cook this again. It's a perfect dish to have with the family during the week, when you want something quick and easy after a hectic day at work.
If you're interested in any of Pinch of Nom's recipe's then you can buy the recipe book in all major supermarkets as well as online retailers Waterstones and Amazon.
See you soon!
