Here are a couple of my recipes. The chicken starts out the same way in both, so this could be considered a 2-for-1 recipe if you are trying to use up a lot of chicken. KSBoy likes both recipes and gives the second one a sound "10" after having eaten three platefuls. Hot and Sour Italian Pasta Regular or whole wheat linguine ½ to ¾ cup olive oil ½ to ¾ cup lemon juice Salt 1 whole BULB fresh garlic, peeled and minced Crushed red pepper Fresh grape or cherry tomatoes Capers Boneless chicken breasts or tenders Sauté chicken breasts in ¼ cup olive oil till almost done. Add lemon juice, and salt to taste. Cover and simmer till chicken is tender. In a separate pot, cook and drain pasta. In a small saucepan, sauté garlic in olive oil until garlic is cooked. Add crushed red pepper to taste. Be careful to not let this mixture burn. Fold in tomatoes and capers. Toss drained pasta with sauce and veggies. Top with chicken and a little of its sauce.
