LEMON PASTA WITH CHICKEN

Lemon Pasta with Chicken image

One of my quick standbys after a busy day at work. By cooking everything at the same time in their separate pots, I can get it on the table in 30 minutes. The chicken broth and lemon give it a lighter and brighter taste that is a welcome change to heavy white sauce. Garnish with your choice of tomatoes, parsley, cooked asparagus or broccoli, or sliced lemon.

CHICKEN, PASTA AND VEGGIES IN A LEMON WINE SAUCE

Chicken, Pasta and Veggies in a Lemon Wine Sauce image

This is one of my favorite pasta dishes. I don't make pasta very often, but whe, I do, I load it up with veggies to cut down on the guilt. I never use frozen veggies for this dish because I find they get mushy during the cooking process. It seems like a lot of ingredients, but it really is quite easy.
