ZZ Lemon Chicken Linguine

Recipe Added:  12/4/2011
1 lb linguine
2 Tbsp olive oil
Zest from one lemon
Juice from one lemon
3 green onions, chopped
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
salt and pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
 Marinade:
½ cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning
Juice of one lemon
2 Tbsp minced fresh parsley
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 chicken breasts, sliced
Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl and whisk lightly before pouring into a Ziploc plastic bag. Pat chicken dry and toss in marinade to coat. Refrigerate 3-12 hours. When ready to cook, preheat skillet over medium heat and pour contents of plastic bag (both marinade and chicken) into the skillet. Saute over medium-high heat until chicken is cooked. Combine juice of one lemon, lemon zest, olive oil, green onions and fresh parsley together in a small bowl. Set aside. While the chicken is sauteing, cook linguine in boiling salted water until done; drain and return to warm pot. Pour lemon juice/olive oil/green onion mixture over pasta and mix lightly. When chicken is finished cooking, add hot pasta mixture to the skillet with the chicken and toss well. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and toss in Parmesan cheese. Serve warm.
