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

Steps

  1. Heat butter and olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot butter-oil mixture 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.
  2. Whisk together cold water and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth. Mix cornstarch mixture and chicken chunks into sauce; cook until heated through and thickened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine in boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.
  4. Reduce heat under the saucepan with sauce to low. Add lemon juice, parsley, and lemon zest; cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add cooked linguine, toss to coat, and transfer to a serving bowl; top with Parmesan cheese.
