Zesty Lemon Rosemary Chicken Pasta: A Flavorful Twist to a Classic Dish

Unique Lemon Rosemary Chicken Pasta

Today, I’m sharing a recipe that perfectly combines the zesty freshness of lemon with the earthy aroma of rosemary in a hearty pasta dish. This dish is ideal for a cozy dinner at home or a special weekend meal with loved ones.

Ingredients:

• 200g chicken breast
• 250g pasta
• 1 lemon
• 2 tbsp fresh rosemary
• 2 cloves garlic
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• to taste
• to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• knife
• cutting board
• pot
• skillet
• grater

I start by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions, then drain and set it aside. In a skillet, I heat olive oil over medium heat and add diced chicken breast, cooking until lightly browned. Next, I add minced garlic and chopped rosemary, sautéing for another minute to release the flavors.

I zest the lemon directly into the skillet, then squeeze in the juice for a burst of citrusy brightness. I season with salt and pepper to taste, tossing everything together until the chicken is cooked through and coated in the flavorful sauce.

Finally, I add the cooked pasta to the skillet, mixing well to combine all the ingredients. The dish is now ready to serve, garnished with a sprig of fresh rosemary for an extra touch of aroma.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 800g, making about 4 servings. Each serving weighs approximately 200g, with an estimated calorie count of 350 per serving.

One clever tip for this recipe is to reserve some pasta cooking water before draining. Adding a splash of the starchy water to the skillet helps create a silky sauce that clings beautifully to the pasta, enhancing the overall texture and flavor.

I highly recommend trying this unique lemon rosemary chicken pasta for a delightful twist on a classic dish. Feel free to experiment with different herbs or adding vegetables for your own personalized version. Enjoy!
