Growing up, my mom would make us lemon chicken cutlets that were coated in flour and seared to golden perfection. It was one of my favorite meals, and mom loved it because you can never go wrong with easy chicken dinners<\/a> for busy weeknights. This Test Kitchen-approved lemon chicken pasta tastes just like my mom’s lemon chicken, but it’s even better because thanks to a pile of garlicky pasta.<\/p>\n Lightly dredge boneless skinless chicken breasts in flour, sear them in a little olive oil and then make a quick pan sauce using the brown bits for extra flavor. After cooking the pasta, save some of the starchy water to help thicken the sauce\u2014a great cooking tip from most pasta recipes<\/a>. Spruced up with garlic, white wine and lemon, every strand of pasta is coated in this delightful sauce, and the golden brown chicken sits right on top for a perfect meal.<\/p>\n Set up a station to prepare your chicken with a clean cutting board, and a wide, shallow bowl of flour. On the cutting board, use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts to 1\/4 inch thickness.<\/p>\n Sprinkle the thinned chicken breasts with 1\/2 teaspoon salt and 1\/4 teaspoon pepper. Dip them into the flour to coat both sides, then shake off the excess flour. Lay them out on a sheet pan and set aside.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Get your pasta water boiling before you start preparing your chicken, so that everything is ready at the same time.<\/p>\n In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Gently place the chicken into the hot oil. Cook for two to three minutes on each side, or until it’s no longer pink. You can also use a digital thermometer to test the internal temperature; it should read 165\u00b0F. Remove the chicken and keep warm while you finish the pasta.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package directions for al dente.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> To tell when your olive oil is ready, throw a tiny pinch of flour into the oil. If it sizzles, you’re good to go.<\/p>\n In the same pan that you cooked the chicken, heat the remaining oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and stir for 30 to 60 seconds or until lightly browned. Deglaze the pan with wine or chicken stock, and then increase the heat to medium-high. Stir to loosen any browned bits from the pan, and cook until the liquid reduces by half. Stir in the lemon juice.<\/p>\n Strain pasta, but reserve at least 1\/2 cup of pasta water. Place the pasta in a large bowl. Add the grated cheese, 1\/3 cup parsley, half of the garlic mixture and the remaining salt and pepper to the pasta. Toss everything to combine, adding enough reserved pasta water to moisten. Slice the cooked chicken and place it over the pasta for serving. Drizzle the remaining garlic mixture over it, and then sprinkle the remaining parsley. Serve with additional grated Parmesan and lemon wedges.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Place a heat-safe measuring cup in the empty strainer to remind yourself that you want to reserve some of the pasta water.<\/p>\n Store your leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to five days. You can store the chicken and pasta separately in order to keep the chicken from getting soggy (if it’s just a little bit of leftovers I don’t mind storing them together). When you’re ready to enjoy it again, just heat up the pasta and chicken together in a saute pan or microwave.<\/p>\n You can make this dish ahead of time, but keep the chicken and pasta separate until you’re ready to serve. Cook the chicken and pasta up to one day in advance. When it’s time to serve, crisp the chicken in a pan, then make the pan sauce as in Step 3. Reheat the pasta in the microwave, and pull the dish together as in Step 4.<\/p>\n What’s great about cooking wine is that you don’t have to be too<\/em> picky. It’s ok to be more budget-conscious when choosing a wine for cooking<\/a>, but stick with a varietal that you’d drink with the dish. For lemon chicken pasta, a bright pinot grigio would work well.<\/p>\n This dish can be a meal in and of itself, especially if you add some greens to it. Parmesan roasted broccoli<\/a> would make a great side dish, or stick with one of our top salad recipes<\/a>. It would also be great with something super fresh and crispy like this radish cucumber salad<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lemon chicken pasta is about to be your new favorite weeknight dinner.
