  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 medium green onions, chopped (2 tablespoons)

Progresso Broth

Steps

  • 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.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you’re not in the mood for pasta, try serving the chicken mixture over your favorite variety of rice.
  • tip 2
    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.
