German Basil Lemon Sauce Chicken Parm Pasta

 My ten-year-old brother, Luke. Tens years old. Yes, it was his idea.
 Well, the German Basil and the Lemon Sauce was me, but seriously. Chicken parmesan pasta? How many ten-year-olds even know what that is?
  My little ten-year-old brother chopped and fried the chicken, followed my directions for the sauce, I mean, come on. That's pretty cool. And if a ten-year-old can cook, my friends, so can you.


What you will need....

Chicken:

A ten-year-old adorable and talented chef of a brother
3 Chicken Breasts (Chopped into bite-sized pieces)
Olive Oil (To fry chicken in)
1 Chopped Onion
2 Minced Cloves of Garlic
1 tsp Brown Sugar (Just believe Luke. I didn't at first, but it tasted so good)
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Salt

Pasta:

1 Pack Angel Hair Pasta
1 Stick Butter
2/3 Cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese

Lemon Sauce:

2 Cups Cream
1/2 Cup Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon fresh dill
1 teaspoon fresh German basil (Or whatever basil you can get your hands on)


What you will do:

Fry chicken, onion, garlic, salt, and brown sugar in olive oil until you can break open a piece of chicken and there's no pink. Remove from heat
In a small pot, cook butter until it browns, remove from heat
In a medium pot bring cream to a boil stirring constantly
Add lemon juice and lower heat
When cream begins to thicken and coats the back of your spoon, add dill and basil and remove from heat
In a seperate pot bring a cup or two of water to a boil and add pasta. Cook until al dente. Drain water and poor browned butter over pasta
Mix chicken, lemon sauce, and pasta, add Parmesan cheese and serve immediately
Enjoy!
