Pasta in Garlic Gravy with Lemon Chicken

I saw this recipe and immediately thought of my wife and daughter.  It has chicken and is made with a light sauce.  But when it said gravy, I thought it had even more appeal for me.  I have not made a pasta this way before.  It was easy, flavorful and richer than making a dish primarily olive oil based.

Recipe
Pasta with Garlic Gravy and Lemon Chicken:
Lemon Chicken:

1. Make a marinade including a few springs of fresh thyme, 1/2 cup of olive oil, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper
2. Take 6 thinly sliced chicken breasts and a freezer bag and add the marinade – massage the marinade into the chicken and let sit for at least an hour
3. Saute with the marinade on medium heat for 2 – 3 minutes per side and set aside and reserve the liquid

Garlic Gravy:

1. Using the same saute pan and the reserved liquid, add 1/2 stick of butter and 1 tbsp olive oil and cook for 2 minutes
2. Add 2 tbsp all-purpose flour and cook for about 2 minutes thickening the sauce
3. Add a spoonful of chopped garlic (I used the already minced garlic in a jar) and cook for 1 minute
4. Add 2 1/2 cups of chicken stock and raise heat; reduce the gravy by 1/3 

Prepare your favorite pasta and when al dente, add to the gravy.  I also added red and yellow cherry tomatoes, 2 full leaves of fresh basil lightly chopped and salt and pepper to taste.  2 minutes before serving, add back in the chicken.  Enjoy.
