The best lemon chicken and pasta
I tried this recipe not long ago because my mother found it somewhere and the whole family loves it (my family loves any chicken and pasta recipes very much-thank goodness!). The chicken is very tender and the sauce makes it better (sauce that requires whipped cream is always good!)
There are several ingredients in this recipe that make it amazing. Of course, it has pasta. We use macaroni, but it can be made with any kind of pasta. Chicken is always suitable for any pasta, but butter, lemon, whipped cream and half and half take it to a whole new level.
To add flavor, we use garlic pepper or garlic salt for seasoning. Most importantly, grated Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped basil make this dish even more mouth-watering.
How to make

In order to grill the chicken perfectly, I recommend halving the chicken breast before grilling. You can season it with lemon pepper or simple garlic salt and black pepper. Heat the grill to medium, then place the breasts on top. If your grill has a thermometer, try to keep it around 425-450°F. Place the chicken directly over medium heat and roast for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Variety:
- Use your Favorite pasta shape Such as bow tie, wagon wheel, shell, ziti
- if Add any vegetables, Be sure to fry them with a little olive oil before throwing them into the pasta.
- Add some heat Served with red pepper flakes or a little hot sauce.
- For better Lemon flavor Add some lemon zest
Shop Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. You can eat leftovers cold or heat them in a pan over medium heat. If your dish looks a bit dry, please add some extra cream. If you are in a hurry, you can use a microwave to heat it up.
Do this ahead of time and Shop Put it in the refrigerator or freezer according to your planned meal time. Either way, be sure to cook the noodles, otherwise they will continue to absorb liquid and become large and mushy.
- Make it the day before, close the lid, and store it in refrigerator. Reheat and serve on the stove top!
- Put it in a freezer-safe airtight container, then freeze Up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Heat slowly in a pan over low heat. If the cream has separated, this will help it reintegrate into the dish. Adding a little milk will also help smooth the texture.
