One Pan Lemon Chicken Pasta

Prep: 15 minOptional: 15–30 min for marinating
Cook: 25 min
Total: 40 min
Serves: 4

Ingredients

2 Chicken breasts
½ tsp Paprika
½ tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Onion powder
Salt & Pepper
½ cup Flour
1 oz White wine (non-alcoholic works aswell)
3 Galic cloves, minced
3 ½ cups Chicken broth
8 oz Pasta (spaghetti or fettuccine)
1 Lemon's worth of juice and zest (for sauce)
2 tbsp Butter
½ cup Parmesan
Parsely and extra Parmesan for topping

Optional Marinade

½ Lemon's worth of juice
1 tbsp Soy sauce
1 tbsp Olive oil

Instructions

Step 1Tenderize the chicken by poking it with a fork, helps it soak up flavor. Season with spices. Optional: Marinade in Lemon soy mixure for 15-30 minutes
Step 2Pat dry, coat in flour for a golden crust. Let it rest a few minutes so the flour sticks better.
Step 3Sear chicken in a hot pan with oil, 5–6 mins per side until golden and cooked through. Set aside.
Step 4In the same pan, add wine and cook for 1–2 mins until it evaporates. Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds. Pour in broth, bring to a boil, then add pasta.
Step 5Cook 10–12 mins, stirring now and then so it doesn’t stick.
Step 6Once pasta is tender and about 1⁄4 cup of liquid is left, lower heat. Stir in butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and Parmesan until creamy and glossy.
Step 7Taste and adjust salt if needed.
Step 8Slice the chicken, add it back on top, and finish with parsley and more Parmesan. Enjoy!
