2 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed

3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

  • Add to chicken mixture& toss.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Lemon: Fresh lemon zest and juice add a bright, citrusy flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh lemons on hand, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor won't be as good.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken breasts can dry out quickly, so it's important to cook them just until they are cooked through. Overcooked chicken will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a Good Quality Parmesan Cheese: Parmesan cheese adds a nutty, salty flavor to this dish. Use a good quality Parmesan cheese that is grated fresh.
  • Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Lemon Chicken Spaghetti Toss is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The combination of lemon, chicken, and Parmesan cheese is a classic flavor combination that is always a winner. This dish is also very versatile.
