Lemon Garlic Chicken Pasta

DinnerStovetop25 minServes 4

Ingredients

• 12 oz pasta
• 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lemon
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1/2 cup parmesan
• 2 handfuls spinach

Amounts are scaled from the original 4 servings; cooking times may change for bigger batches.

Steps

1. Cook the pasta; save 1 cup water and drain.
2. Brown the chicken in butter over medium-high heat until 165°F, 6-7 minutes.
3. Add garlic for 30 seconds, then the spinach until wilted.
4. Add pasta, lemon zest and juice, parmesan and enough pasta water to make a light sauce.

Swaps

• Lime juice or a small splash of vinegar can stand in for lemon.
• Kale, chard or frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed) all work instead of fresh spinach.
• Turkey works the same way as chicken; cook both to 165°F.

Times are a guide; ovens and air fryers vary. Cook poultry to 165°F, ground meat to 160°F, and pork and fish to 145°F. Diet tags come from the ingredient list; check labels for allergens.
