Ingredients:
1 1/2 lb bone-in chicken breast
2 tsp black peppercorns, cracked
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tbsp lemon juice, or to taste
1 salt, to taste
2 or 3 sprigs savory or
2 or 3 sprigs parsley
12 oz dry ribbon noodles - such as lingui, ne
GARNISH
1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
Instructions:
Skin and bone chicken breasts and cut them on the diagonal into strips
about 3/8" wide. Toss chicken with cracked pepper, garlic, and 1 tb.
of the olive oil. Marinate, covered and refrigerated, for an hour or
as long as overnight.
When ready to serve, bring ample water to boil to cook the pasta.
Heat remaining olive oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add
chicken and lightly brown it all over, about 3 minutes. Add chicken
broth and lemon juice; reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer the sauce for
about 8 minutes.
Cook pasta until it is just done. While pasta is cooking, chop
savory or parsley leaves and add them to the chicken. Adjust sauce
with lemon juice and/or salt to taste.
Drain pasta and toss with the chicken. Serve the dish hot, passing
the Parmesan separately.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
Belsinger and Dille write: "Pepper's pungency plays off the flavors of
starches and mild meats especially well. For a vegetarian version of
pasta with pepper, toss hot pasta with the Spicy Butter with Four
Peppercorns, some lemon juice, and chopped savory or parsley; serve
with Parmesan."

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting
Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.
Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
When chickens quit quarreling over their food they often find that there is enough for all of them. I wonder if it might not be the same
with the human race.
