🍗 Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- Juice and zest of 1 lemon
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup chicken broth (or water)
For the Creamy Parmesan Pasta:
- 200 g pasta (fettuccine, penne, or spaghetti)
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a little kick)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon, for garnish
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2. Make the Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce
In the same pan, melt another tablespoon of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds. Pour in chicken broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir and scrape the bottom of the pan to release all those delicious browned bits. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the chicken to the pan, spoon the sauce over it, and let it simmer on low heat for 2 minutes to soak up all the flavor.
3. Cook the Pasta
While the chicken cooks, boil your pasta in salted water according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
4. Make the Creamy Parmesan Sauce
In another skillet, melt butter and add heavy cream. Stir in Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Simmer on low until creamy and smooth.
Add the cooked pasta and toss until well coated in the sauce.
5. Combine and Serve
Serve the creamy pasta on a plate, top with sliced lemon garlic butter chicken, and drizzle with extra sauce from the pan. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and an extra squeeze of lemon.
💡 Pro Tips
✅ Don’t overcook the chicken — juicy chicken makes this dish shine.
