Dubliner Chicken With Pasta Pancetta And Arugula Food

PASTA WITH ROASTED GARLIC, PANCETTA AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Trim hairy root and green stem from green garlic, or trim 1/4-inch off top of regular garlic, making sure to expose all cloves.
• Place garlic in a small, shallow baking dish, root side down, and drizzle each with a little olive oil. Cover dish with foil. Roast until cloves or bulbs are golden brown, about 40 minutes to 1 hour (green garlic will cook faster than regular garlic). If bottom of dish starts to burn before garlic is roasted, add one tablespoon water. Transfer to a rack to cool. Garlic can be roasted up to one day ahead; wrap well and store in refrigerator.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente.
• While pasta cooks, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add pancetta and red pepper flakes. Sauté until pancetta is golden and crisp around edges, about 5 minutes.
• Peel outside layer of green garlic, or if using regular garlic, squeeze cloves from their papery skins. Chop roasted garlic, and add to skillet with lemon juice and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for 2 minutes.
• Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water. Add drained pasta and arugula to skillet, place over low heat, and toss until arugula wilts. Add just enough cooking water to scrape up brown bits in pan (do this 1 tablespoon at a time). Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve with Parmesan.

CHICKEN MOZZARELLA PASTA

Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Allow to cook, without stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Stir the chicken around to brown it on all sides. Remove to a plate.
• In the same skillet over medium-high heat, add the garlic and onions and stir immediately to start cooking. Cook until the onions are deep golden, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low and pour in the marinara sauce, red pepper flakes and 1/2 cup water. Stir until the onions and garlic are mixed in, then add the chicken back to the skillet. Add the parsley and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 8 minutes.
• Make sure the sauce is bubbly and very hot, then gently stir in the mozzarella. Let sit, undisturbed, until you can see that the mozzarella is very soft, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Drain the pasta and pour it onto a platter. Drizzle with a little olive oil. Immediately sprinkle on the Parmesan shavings. Pour on the sauce, sprinkle with grated Parmesan and the chiffonade of basil and serve immediately!

DUBLINER CHICKEN WITH PASTA, PANCETTA AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Saute chicken, pancetta, shallots and garlic in a skillet over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until chicken and pancetta are cooked through.

LINGUINI WITH ARUGULA, GARLIC & PARMESAN

Steps:

• Cook pasta al dente in a large stockpot of generously-salted water according to package instructions.
• While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil (or melt the butter) in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until it begins to turn just slightly golden. Remove from heat. (And if the pasta is not yet ready, transfer the garlic to a separate dish to prevent it from overcooking.)
• Once the pasta is cooked, drain it. Then immediately stir in the garlic and olive oil mixture, arugula, and Parmesan cheese. Toss until combined.
• Serve immediately, topped with extra Parmesan cheese (and toasted pine nuts, if using).

SAUTEED ARUGULA WITH PANCETTA AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Saute the garlic and pancetta in a large skillet over medium-high heat until they begin to crisp and turn golden. If the pancetta is lean and renders little fat, add the olive oil. Add the arugula and cook, turning occasionally, until the leaves wilt, 3 to 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

CREAMY HERBED CHICKEN AND ARUGULA PASTA SALAD WITH ASIAGO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, chives, sour cream, parsley, tarragon, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl.
• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot; brush with the oil. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken, turning once, until well-marked and just cooked through, about 7 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes, then cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool; add to the bowl with the dressing.
• Add the chicken, arugula, Asiago and onion to the bowl and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. The pasta salad is best if served right away.

PANCETTA CHICKEN WITH LINGUINE

Steps:

• Switch on oven to 180C/fan 200C/gas. Place a pan of water to boil on the hob.
• Wilt the spinach in the frying pan using 1 tbsp olive oil and a knob of butter. Whilst wilting, prepare the chicken making sure to keep an eye on the spinach whilst doing this.
• Cut off any grisly bits or bloodied bits of the chicken and hollow out the chicken using a sharp knife. Once hollowed, stuff the chicken with the philedelphia and then pancetta until full. Use a cocktail stick to secure the end and then transfer to an oiled baking tray. Ensuring the chicken has been entirely covered with oil, sprinkle on the basil, cover with foil and place in oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Once the chicken is in the oven, turn attention to the spinach which should be wilted by now. Add in another tbsp of oil, the sliced garlic and the pancetta and keep on a medium heat. Add in the linguine to the pan of water to simmer for 10 minutes.
• Once pancetta is cooked, add in the cherry tomatoes - tinned are better as they arent as watery, sweet chilli sauce and black pepper. Keep on a low/medium heat while the linguine finishes cooking. When the linguine is finished, add the linguine to the sauce using a spaghetti fork or tongs allowing some of the pasta water to go into the sauce.
• Mix in the linguine gently ensuring not to break any tomatoes, remove the chicken out of the oven and plate to serve.
