Ok, ok I know, you are thinking.. how many lemon chicken recipes are you going to share?  Well. I haven’t even really started. Lemon and chicken go so well together and I absolutely love lemon. It is just so refreshing and adds a nice, unexpected zing to dishes like this one.

I used asparagus but this recipe is so versatile, you can easily swap for another vegetable when asparagus is off season and a thousand dollars at the grocery store.

Lemon Chicken & Asparagus Pasta

Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 Tbsp olive oil

Freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp Butter

1/2 Cup Shredded Parmesan cheese
Juice and zest of 1 lemon

Transfer chicken to a plate and tent with foil, allowing to rest for 10 minutes for slicing.

Melt butter in the same saute pan and saute garlic until fragrant then add broth, milk and salt to taste.

Stir to scrape up browned pieces on bottom of pan.

    Yum this looks great! How many would you say this serves? Would you double for 4 people, or would this be enough?

    Honestly this whole thing was confusing an took wayyyyy longer then 30 minutes. I would recommend the recipe but the way everything was done, to me was soooo not worth it sadly. It at least tastes pretty good

    Do you cook the pasta in the milk, garlic etc pan? Or do you cook it in boiling water and then add it to that? Sorry I’m confused. 😬 Thanks

    Al my sauce basically disappeared? Not sure how it happened. Was it because I cooked it at a high temperature? Other than that, it still tasted really good!
