Directions

1 Cook linguine as directed on package. Meanwhile, sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat until melted.
2 Cook chicken in butter 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add onions, garlic, roasted peppers and asparagus; cook 2 to 3 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until asparagus is crisp-tender and chicken is no longer pink in center. Stir in broth and remaining 1 tablespoon butter; cook until butter is melted.
3 Drain linguine. Serve chicken mixture over linguine. Sprinkle lemon peel over each serving.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

If you’re not in the mood for pasta, try serving the chicken mixture over your favorite variety of rice.

When grating the lemon peel, be careful to avoid the pith—the soft white layer between the peel and flesh of the fruit—as it can be bitter.

My husband is not a fan of peppers, so I left them out. I seasoned the chicken with Adobo rather than plain salt and pepper for more depth of flavo. This recipe is a keeper.

Yummy! My family and I love this light, quick dinner! I did not have asparagus and had lots of red, yellow, orange & green peppers. I cut those and sauteed them with the chicken & garlic & added yellow onion. Loved the flavor!
