Creamy Lemon Chicken Pasta: Perfectly al dente pasta is drenched in a rich creamy lemon sauce and topped with flavorful chicken for a simple but hearty pasta dish!
Cook the pasta in a large pot of water as directed on the packaging.
In a small bowl, add flour and garlic powder and stir together.
Place each chicken breast in the flour mixture and press on all side to cover it.
In a large deep skillet over medium high heat, add 2 tablespoon of olive oil. Heat olive oil and add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes on each side or until thoroughly cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet (leave all of those flavorful brown bits!), add the rest of the olive oil (1 tablespoon), add the onion and garlic and cook until softened.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, lemon zest and lemon juice. Stir until the ingredients are well combined.
Add the cooked pasta, and stir until the pasta is covered in sauce. Remove from heat.
Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Serve and top with sliced chicken breast. Garnish with fresh parsley.
