LEMON CHICKEN PASTA
I often find myself scouring the pantry in the afternoon trying to figure out what to make for dinner. Please tell me I’m not the only one, lol. I do admit there have been times we’ve had cereal, and that’s okay in my books. BUT, If I have time and have been organized that week I really like to make a nice meal for my family. I usually find something with chicken (and/or pasta) and run with it, because you really can’t go wrong with those, right??
Today’s recipe for Lemon Chicken Pasta is one my mom found and tried several months ago. She couldn’t remember if she had found it online or in a magazine, but she tried it, and it was a hit! The whole family loved it (my fam pretty much loves any chicken and pasta recipe – thank heavens!). The chicken was super tender and the sauce made it even better (sauces that call for whipping cream are ALWAYS good!)
What makes this dish so flavorful?
There are several ingredients in this recipe that make it amazing. Of course, it has pasta. We used penne but it can be made with any kind of pasta. Chicken is always great with any pasta dish, but the butter, lemons, whipping cream and half & half take it to a whole new level. To add even more flavor we will use either Garlic Pepper or Garlic Salt to season. To top it all off grated Parmesan cheese and fresh chopped basil on top make this dish even more mouth-watering.
To add even more flavor, you could add the following to this dish:
Shaved Parmesan instead of grated Parmesan
Veggies – like cherry tomatoes, broccoli or even asparagus
Fresh squeeze lemon on top
INGREDIENTS
