One-Pot Chicken Caesar Pasta

Serves 4-6

Here’s a quick, flavorful twist on the classic Caesar salad — comforting yet refreshingly light! Made with seasoned chicken breast strips, Caesar dressing, crunchy breadcrumbs, artichoke hearts, and a squeeze of lemon, this creamy, garlicky pasta is your new spring staple!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup caesar dressing, divided
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 1/2 pkg Perdue® Fresh Cuts Chicken Breast Strips
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and fresh pepper
• 2 tablespoons garlic
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 lb linguine or any type of pasta
• 1/3 cup artichoke hearts, halved
• 2 tablespoons capers, drained
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 1/4 cup toasted & salted breadcrumbs
• Parsley, chopped
• 1 lemon, cut in wedges

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, combine 3/4 cup caesar salad dressing, Italian seasoning and chicken breast strips to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2. In a large saucepan or dutch oven over medium heat, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes.

3. With tongs, remove the chicken from the marinade and place directly into pan. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, not moving or flipping until well browned. Chicken is ready when an insta-read thermometer reads chicken at 165℉. Transfer grilled chicken to plate to rest while you make the pasta.

5. In the same pan, combine milk, remaining 1/4 cup caesar dressing and chicken broth and bring to a low simmer. Add the pasta and stir until the pasta fits in the pan.

6. Cook according to pasta package timed instructions. Stir occasionally to keep pasta from sticking. Salt to taste.

7. When pasta is al dente, remove from heat and carefully stir in artichoke hearts and capers. Top with chicken and any juices collected, parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs and parsley. Serve with lemon slices and enjoy!
