Lemon Chicken and Pasta

I've made this winner of a recipe a few times and it is fabulous. Like the other one I posted, it's an easy one-skillet pasta dish. The lemon chicken recipe is from the Lion House Cookbook and the pasta recipe is from mykitchencafe.blogspot.com. I hope you enjoy!

Lemon Chicken
1 pound chicken breasts
2 Tblsp honey
1 Tblsp lemon juice
1 Tblsp soy sauce
1 tsp grated lemon peel (I put this in the first time I made it, but haven't since and I don't think it makes much of a difference for the marinade, but don't forget to add it into the pasta recipe below!)

glaze for chicken
1/2 c. water
1 Tblsp lemon juice
1 Tblsp honey
1 Tblsp cornstarch
1 tsp grated lemon peel
1/2 tsp chicken bouillon granules

Arrange chicken breasts in glass dish (or just a gallon sized ziploc bag). In small bowl combine first five ingredients. Pour over chicken, cover, and marinate in refrigerator for 2-3 hours. Grill on hot grill or under broiler until no longer pink (I just cooked it in a pan on the stove) The second set of ingredients is for a glaze to put on top. However, I just mixed my chicken in with the lemon pasta below so I didn't use the glaze. If you want to make the glaze you mix all the ingredients and microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, stirring after every minute until sauce is thick and clear.

Lemon Pasta

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 (16 ounce) package tube pasta (I used rigatoni)
1 cups heavy cream (you can use evaporated milk and it's still good, just not QUITE as good)
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded

DIRECTIONSIn a large saucepan, season the chicken broth with the garlic powder and pepper. Bring to a boil and add lemon juice and pasta. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until all liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes.Stir chicken into cooked pasta, along with the cream, parmesan cheese and lemon zest. Cook, stirring, over low heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Stir thoroughly before serving.

Also, I'm sure you could make this a bit healthier by throwing some broccoli or asparagus into the pasta at the end. I'm not always a big fan of leftovers, but this makes great leftovers.
