Step 4 – Serve
- Place a serving of creamy Parmesan pasta onto each plate.
- Slice the chicken and arrange on top.
- Drizzle with extra lemon-garlic butter sauce from the chicken pan.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese.
Tips & Variations
- Add sautéed spinach or broccoli to the pasta for extra nutrition.
- For extra indulgence, stir in ½ cup mozzarella to the pasta sauce.
- Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for juicier meat.
- For a lighter version, swap heavy cream with Greek yogurt (add off the heat to prevent curdling).
This dish is restaurant-quality and perfect for a cozy dinner — buttery, garlicky chicken with zesty lemon, balanced beautifully with creamy, cheesy pasta.
Would you like me to also prepare a one-pan version of this recipe (where chicken and pasta are cooked together for less cleanup)?
