Spence's Pesto Chicken Pasta - recipe

 
Spence's Pesto Chicken Pasta

Ingredients


1/2 pound linguine pasta
1 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into small pieces
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
6 whole garlic cloves
4 ounces fresh mushrooms, halved
6 ounces roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
1 (7.5 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
3 ounces fresh spinach leaves
1/4 cup prepared basil pesto, or to taste
1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided (optional)

Directions


Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the linguine, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
While the pasta is boiling, sprinkle the chicken with salt and black pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook the chicken pieces until lightly browned, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the garlic cloves, mushrooms, roasted red peppers, and artichoke hearts; reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the mushrooms begin to give off their juices, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the spinach, and simmer just until the leaves are wilted, about 2 minutes.
Transfer the cooked linguine into a bowl, and toss with the basil pesto. Divide the pasta between 2 plates, and serve topped with the chicken mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over each plate to serve.

CAJUN BEER CAN CHICKEN - Recipes

CAJUN BEER CAN CHICKEN

INGREDIENTS:

1 3 1/2 to 4 pound chicken
1 12-ounce can of beer
4 teaspoons dry cajun seasoning

DIRECTIONS:

Using a bottle opener, make three more openings in the top of the can. Empty 1/3 of the beer out to make it only 2/3 full of liquid. Lightly oil the exterior of the can with salad oil. Wash chicken inside and out and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of dry cajun seasoning
(optional) into the cavity and two teaspoons over the outside of the chicken. Put a little foil on the tips of the leg bones to prevent blackening.

Set up gas or charcoal grill for indirect grilling. For charcoal grills, mound briquettes into two piles on opposite sides of grill. Light. Preheat only one side of gas grill, at a temperature of 350 degrees.

Stand the beer can on an aluminum pie plate, piece of aluminum foil, or special beer can chicken roasting pan.
Carefully ease the chicken onto the can, and spread drumsticks away from the body to support the bird in a tripod position. Add chicken, locating the bird between the two piles of charcoal on charcoal grills, or on tEnlacehe side away from heat on gas grills. Cover the grill and barbeque chicken over indirect heat for about 1 1/2 - 2 hours, or until the breast meat reaches 165 degrees.
Remove chicken carefully, as there may be hot liquid remaining in the can.
