Preparation

Step 1

In a large, deep skillet or pot, melt butter over medium-high heat. Brown chicken, turning once, for about 3 min per side. Push chicken to one side and add garlic, basil and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper to skillet; sauté for 30 sec.

Stir in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Stir in noodles; arrange chicken in a single layer. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 5 min or until noodles are almost tender.

Flip chicken pieces. Whisk flour into cream and stir into skillet with vegetables. Increase heat to medium and simmer, stirring often, for about 7 min or until chicken is no longer pink inside and sauce is slightly thickened. Stir in lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper.
