The Pioneer Woman's•Grilled Chicken with Lemon Basil Pasta

Penne Lemon Chicken
I am a huge fan of Ree Drummond also known as The Pioneer Woman. Ree's enthusiasm is intoxicating and inspires me on a daily basis. Recently I was thumbing through her awesome blog and came across this recipe. This pasta dish was such a huge hit with my family that they requested it twice in one week! Thank you Ree. :)

Ingredients

Chicken Marinade

4 chicken breasts
1/2 cup olive oil
Juice from 4 lemons
2 Tlbs. honey

Place your chicken breasts in a ziplock baggie and lightly pound the chicken with a meat tenderizer. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, and honey. Mix and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours. Grill and slice.


Pasta Sauce

1/2 stick of butter
3 whole lemons, juiced
3/4 cup of heavy cream
1/4 cup of half and half
1 1/2 cups of freshly grated parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
20 whole basil leaves, chopped

1 pound of penne pasta, cooked


Directions

Cook pasta reserving 1 cup of the hot pasta water. In a large skillet melt butter over medium heat. Squeeze in the juice of 3 to 4 lemons, whisk together.
