Chicken Lemon Linguine

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
• 2 1/2 cups milk
• 3 cubes chicken bouillon
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup cold water
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/2 pound seasoned grilled chicken chunks
• 1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Directions

Heat butter and olive oil together in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic until tender but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add milk, bouillon, oregano, salt, and pepper to onion mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook sauce for 5 minutes.

Whisk cold water and cornstarch together in a bowl until smooth. Mix cornstarch mixture and chicken into sauce; cook until heated through and thickened, about 5 minutes.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.

Turn heat under saucepan with sauce to low; add lemon juice, parsley, and lemon zest and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add pasta, toss to coat, and transfer to a serving bowl; top with Parmesan cheese.
