This deliciously different dish incorporates a classic combination of flavors: lemon, chicken, and garlic. A nice change of pace from the usual pasta fare.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 lemon, quartered
2 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
ΒΌ cup fresh lemon juice
1 (8 ounce) package rotelle pasta
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place chicken in a lightly greased baking dish. Squeeze lemon over both sides of the chicken breasts and season both sides using 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Bake for 40 minutes, or until juices run clear and chicken is no longer pink inside.
  • Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, season the chicken broth with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil and add lemon juice and pasta. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until all liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes.
  • Cut cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and stir into cooked pasta, along with the cream and lemon zest. Cook, stirring, over low heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Stir thoroughly before serving.

This recipe was a disappointment. The sauce was bland and the chicken was dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this dish again.

This dish was easy to make and very tasty. The lemon cream sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I added a little bit of sugar to balance it out. Overall, I enjoyed this recipe and would make it again.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken, but this dish was surprisingly good. The lemon cream sauce was light and flavorful, and the chicken was moist and tender. I would definitely make this again.

This recipe is a keeper! The lemon cream sauce is amazing, and the chicken is cooked perfectly. I served it over pasta, and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.

I made this dish last night and it was a hit with my family! The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the chicken was tender and juicy. I will definitely be making this again.

This lemon cream pasta with chicken is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's packed with flavor. The creamy sauce is rich and tangy, and the chicken is cooked to perfection. I loved that the recipe used simple ingredients that I already had on hand.
