I enjoyed this despite the fact that the tiny voice in the back of my head screamed "do you KNOW how many calories are in heavy cream???". It didn't warm up that great for lunch on day 2 but it was pretty darn tasty the 1st day so I dealt with it. This recipe is courtesy of The Pioneer Woman.
Grilled Chicken with lemon basil pasta
4 whole Grilled Chicken Breasts, Sliced

Cook pasta, reserving 1 cup of hot pasta water when you drain. Set pasta aside in a colander.
In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat. Squeeze in the juice of 3 to 4 lemons. Whisk together. Pour in cream and half-and-heat. Whisk until hot. Dump in cheese and whisk until melted. Add salt and pepper. Check consistency, adding some of the hot pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed.
Pour pasta and sauce into a large serving bowl. Sprinkle remaining basil all over the top, then add sliced chicken breasts. Serve immediately!
