1. Bring 4 quarts water to boil in large pot. Meanwhile, combine
garlic, pepper flakes, and oil in bowl and microwave until garlic is
golden and fragrant, about 1 minute.
2. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and
pepper. Transfer 1 tablespoon oil from bowl with garlic mixture to
large skillet and heat over medium-high heat until just smoking.
Add chicken and cook until well browned and cooked through,
about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to cutting board and tent with
foil. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice thin and set aside.
3. Add 1 tablespoon salt and pasta to boiling water and cook until
al dente. Reserve ½ cup cooking water. Drain pasta and return to
pot. Stir in sliced chicken, arugula, basil, lemon juice, Parmesan,
and remaining garlic mixture, adding reserved pasta water as
needed. Season with salt and pepper. Serve.
