  • Author: Olivia Turner
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

– 12 ounces fettuccine pasta
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Juice and zest of 1 large lemon
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Creamy Lemon Chicken Pasta is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Cook Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Cook Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.

3. Add Garlic: Once the chicken is cooked, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4. Prepare Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix well and let simmer for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce becomes creamy and thick.

5. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing it gently in the creamy sauce until evenly coated.

6. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the pasta dish and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if necessary.

7. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

8. Enjoy: Serve warm, paired with a side salad or garlic bread if desired.
