Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh lemon juice, zest, and peas will give your dish the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too much pasta or chicken to the pan, it will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions: This will ensure that it is cooked through but still has a little bite to it.
  • Add the cream and Parmesan cheese slowly: This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling.
  • Season the dish to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste, and you can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little spice.

Conclusion:

One-pot creamy lemon chicken pasta with peas is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The creamy sauce is rich and flavorful, and the chicken and peas add protein and vegetables. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. Serve it with a side of garlic bread or a salad for a complete meal.
