Units Scale

For the Chicken Spaghetti:

  • 12 oz spaghetti
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

For the Lemon Butter Garlic Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon

For Serving:

  • 2 balls fresh burrata cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Cook the Spaghetti: Boil spaghetti in salted water until al dente. Reserve pasta water, then drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Season chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sauté in olive oil until golden and cooked through. Set aside.
  3. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic. Add chicken broth, heavy cream, lemon juice, and zest. Simmer until slightly thickened.

Notes

  • Consider adding spinach or asparagus for more veggies.
  • Linguine or fettuccine can be used instead of spaghetti.
  • The sauce can be made ahead and gently reheated before serving.
