Lemon Basil Chicken with Wilted Greens and Gluten Free Pasta

Browsing either through Pinterest or Facebook one day, I happened upon the inspiration for this recipe. It looked beautiful on the screen of my face. Chicken drenched in lemons and tomatoes. My mouth started watering. I immediately placed it on my menu list for the next weeks menu. I should have also put where I found recipe as well. Hide sight is 20/20, so they say; but if I had the recipe, the one I am about to share with you would not exist.
I hope you and yours enjoy this recipe as much as we have,
