Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 3/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons lemon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 12 ounces spaghetti pasta
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 ¼  cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup low sodium chicken broth
  • ⅔ cup frozen peas
  • 1 lemon zested and juiced
  • 2 tablespoons butter cut in small cubes
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped Italian parsley
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instruction

  • Combine the flour, 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese, and lemon pepper in a shallow bowl. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken until it is golden brown on both sides and cooked through; 3-4 minutes each side. Plate the chicken and cover it with a loose aluminum foil tent. 
  • Meanwhile bring a large pot of water to boil and cook the pasta according to the package directions. Do not overcook and drain well.
  • Wipe the skillet fairly clean and heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute while stirring constantly. Add the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Add the chicken broth a little at a time while the cream reduces.
  • Add the peas, lemon zest, and lemon juice and continue simmering until the mixture is reduced by about 1/3. Reduce the heat as low as it will go and stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese in small increments stirring until it is melted.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the sauce; tossing to coat. Add the butter stirring until melted and incorporated.  Stir in the fresh parsley and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Slice the chicken and add it to the pasta. For best results serve promptly.
