Today’s Special: Creamy Lemon Herb Chicken Pasta

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share my recipe for Creamy Lemon Herb Chicken Pasta. It’s a bright and flavorful dish that’s perfect for a cozy night in or a family gathering. The combination of zesty lemon, fragrant herbs, tender chicken, and creamy sauce is sure to wow your taste buds. Let’s get cooking!

Ingredients:

• boneless, skinless chicken breasts (500g)
• pasta of your choice (300g)
• butter (50g)
• garlic cloves, minced (4)
• chicken broth (500ml)
• heavy cream (250ml)
• lemon, zest and juice
• fresh parsley, chopped
• fresh basil, chopped
• salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• large pot
• skillet
• zester

I start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and then pan-frying them until golden brown and cooked through. In another pot, I boil the pasta until al dente and set it aside. In a skillet, I melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Then, I add chicken broth, heavy cream, lemon zest, and juice, allowing the sauce to simmer and thicken.

Once the sauce is nice and creamy, I add the cooked chicken, pasta, chopped parsley, and basil, stirring everything together until well combined. The aroma of lemon and herbs fills the kitchen, creating a mouth-watering anticipation for the meal to come. Finally, I season with more salt and pepper to taste before serving hot.

The total weight of the cooked Creamy Lemon Herb Chicken Pasta is approximately 1200g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 300g. As for the calorie count per serving, it’s estimated to be around 500 calories.

One unique tip for this dish is to finish it off with a sprinkle of lemon zest right before serving. The fresh zest adds a burst of citrusy flavor and a pop of color that elevates the dish to a whole new level.
