Description

As the title implies, one pan is all you need to cook this 30-minute family-style dish. A garlicky lemon and caper sauce adds Mediterranean flavors to the chicken and gluten-free penne. Be sure to simmer the pasta about 2 minutes less than the package instructions; with additional ingredients and cooking time to follow, it will turn al dente.

Serves 4
QuantityIngredientAdd
1 (14 oz can) quartered artichoke hearts, drained
¼ c. Hy-Vee Select extra-virgin olive oil
2 large chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 tsp. Hy-Vee salt, divided
¼ tsp. Hy-Vee black pepper, divided
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 c. Hy-Vee chicken broth
¾ c. water
Pinch red chili pepper flakes
½ lbs. gluten-free penne pasta
2 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. drained capers
1 c. cherry tomatoes, halved
1 c. Hy-Vee finely shredded Parmesan cheese
½ c. lightly packed fresh basil leaves, chopped

Directions

  1. Halve artichoke heart quarters; set aside.
  2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper; add to skillet. Cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown, yet slightly undercooked. Stir in garlic; cook for 30 seconds more.

Stir in pasta, making sure it's fully immersed in the liquid. Cook mixture, covered, on medium heat until bubbly, then simmer for 2 minutes less than pasta package directions.
  4. Remove lid. Stir in lemon juice, capers and tomatoes. Bring mixture to boiling; continue to boil for 2 to 3 minutes or until sauce is slightly reduced. Remove skillet from heat. Stir in Parmesan cheese and basil. Let stand for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
