Instructions:
1. Begin by boiling water in a large pot. Once it’s boiling, add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest.
4. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Squeeze the lemon juice into the skillet and add the zest. Stir to combine and scrape up any flavorful bits stuck to the pan.
6. Lower the heat to medium and pour in the heavy cream, stirring until the mixture is smooth. Let it simmer for a few minutes.
7. Grate in the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Slice the rested chicken and return it to the skillet, mixing gently to coat with the creamy lemon garlic sauce.
9. Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss until well combined with the sauce.
10. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Enjoy your Zesty Lemon Garlic Chicken & Creamy Pasta Delight!
