Steps:
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, until al dente. Drain well.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large grill pan over medium high and add chicken. Grill until golden and completely cooked. Remove to a plate and slice.
- Add the garlic and red pepper flakes to a saute pan with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and saute until fragrant. Add the cooked pasta and turn heat off. Mix all together.
- Remove pasta to a large bowl. Add chicken to the warm pasta and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle in chopped parsley. Add the juice of 2 lemons and mix. Before serving top with Parmesan.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are the best choices for this dish. If you use bone-in chicken, you'll need to increase the cooking time.
- Use fresh lemon juice. Fresh lemon juice will give your sauce a brighter, more flavorful taste. If you don't have fresh lemons on hand, you can use bottled lemon juice, but it won't be as good.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it's cooked through but still tender. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Add the pasta to the sauce. This will help the pasta absorb the sauce's flavor. You can also serve the pasta and sauce separately, if you prefer.
- Garnish with fresh parsley. Fresh parsley will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.
Conclusion:
Chicken in lemon sauce with penne is a quick and easy dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The bright, flavorful sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a simple but delicious dinner, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
