Creamy and light lemon pasta bake for a fresh and satisfying meal.
Ingredients:
  • 1 lb farfalle (bow-tie) pasta
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
  • Salt and pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
  • 4 medium green onions, sliced
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Gently grease a 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish and set it aside.
  • Boil generously salted water in a large pot. Add pasta and cook for half of the recommended time on the package, ensuring pasta is slightly undercooked in the center. Drain the pasta and transfer it to a bowl, setting it aside for later.
  • While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a 10-inch skillet over high heat, cook the chicken with 1 tablespoon of oil until it browns. Transfer the cooked chicken to the bowl with the pasta. In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, then sauté the onion with a tiny pinch of salt.
  • Saute onion in a skillet over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute. Whisk in flour and cook for a minute or two. Gradually whisk in broth and milk. Simmer until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Combine sauce with pasta and chicken in a bowl. Mix in lemon peel, then spread the mixture in a casserole dish. Top with green onions and bake for 20 minutes.
