To start, gather the following ingredients:

Once the chicken is cooked, add the lemon zest and juice to the pan, along with the chopped basil. Stir everything together and let it simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the pan with the chicken and sauce. Toss everything together to ensure the pasta is well coated in the lemon basil sauce.
