Ingredients

– 8 ounces of fettuccine or spaghetti
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream

– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 cups fresh spinach

Instructions

Creating Lemon Chicken Pasta is effortless if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
3. Cook the Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Create the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir well, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes until it slightly thickens.
5. Add Cheese and Spinach: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Add the fresh spinach and let it wilt in the sauce.
6. Combine Pasta and Chicken: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet along with the drained pasta. Toss everything together until well coated in the creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
