Crispy, tender and juicy parmesan crusted chicken over the most incredible creamy lemon garlic pasta! This is a must make meal!
My baby is turning two in just a few months. I am seriously crying big ugly tears over it! ? We all absolutely adore her and she is so much fun. Every month that she grows I want time to stop because she says the cutest little things. We chase her around the house and she runs as fast as her little legs can go and says, “Wun! Get you!”. It has been so much fun watching her grow! Since the weather is warming up we spend every sunny day at our park around the corner. We have such a blast with her everyday.
As it starts to get warm outside and spring is almost here, I love to create lemon inspired recipes.
Promise me ONE thing. You will make this recipe this week!
Lets break this meal down for you. It starts with this amazing and crispy pan fried chicken. The crust is so crispy and the parmesan flavor is incredible. You cut into the chicken and it is so tender and juicy!
But then there is the creamy lemon garlic pasta. OH MY GOSH.
This pasta only requires a few ingredients and it is creamy and amazing. It has just enough lemon to add a tangy flavor to the creamy pasta and it is perfect.
I could not BELIEVE how good this entire meal came together. The crispiness of the chicken and the creamy lemon garlic pasta! We all devoured this meal and couldn’t eat it fast enough.
The great thing about this meal is that it is ready in about 30 minutes. It is quick and easy and full of incredible flavor!
Trust me on this one! You have got to make it! It is a meal that your family is going to rave about!

Made this tonight and it was SOOO good! The sauce is to die for! Definitely double the sauce!
This recipe sounds delicious, however, is it necessary to use whipping cream or
can you inform me of a substitute. Thank you. Being a senior I so enjoy
making meals such as this as I do not mind having the same dinner
2-3 times a week especially when it’s so tasty!!
I made this today for my family and my husband and step son loved it. But my 2 boys didn’t like it. They’re 5 and 8, and they’re used to rice and beans, hard to get them to eat something different. (Spanish household) but I loved it and had I filled my husbands belly. Great recipe !
I have everything except heavy cream, any way to substitute?
Great flavors! Does anyone have a tip for keeping the coating on? I did scrape them up and added them to the finished dish but it didn’t look quite as perfect as yours!?
I made this tonight. It was excellent loved the lemon flavor of the sauce.
I will make this often
Thank you
Thank you for sharing! I do love the lemon sauce! It has so much flavor! Thanks so much for following along with me! XOXO
Can i use half & half? Thats all i have in hand right now. Thank you
Can I use 1/2 and 1/2
Second time I made this using boneless skinless thighs, Delicious!!!
That is great to hear!! I hope it was even better the second time!
Delicious,I too yearned for a little bit more sauce. I also used a mix of butter and olive oil for cooking the chicken. But was a big hit! Used up some trimmings of basil and Greek organo in this and backed off the pepper.
Overall though a great recipe ?
Thank you for your comment! That sounds like IT was a hit! So happy to hear! Thanks for following my blog!

Fixed this last night, following the directions exactly. I wouldn’t change a thing! My husband is still talking about how good it was. Thank you for a wonderful recipe. I’m now subscribed!
I made this tonight and it was very good; however, next time I will reduce to lemon to half a lemon. We had asparagus with it! Yum! Thanks!
I made this recipe tonight and it was really good! The lemon flavor was perfect and the chicken was flavorful and juicy. I coated the chicken in olive oil instead of butter but I cooked the chicken in the butter as the recipe stated. I also doubled the amount of pasta and sauce to make a whole box of pasta. Great for leftovers!
I tried this dish and it was pretty good, I think next time I will double up on the cream mixture for a little more flavor but overall it was a good dish.
Oh man, if you haven’t made this yet …..
You have got to?. It smells so good while cooking and it is absofreakinlutly deeelicious ?. Thank you for sharing ✌
This was so good! I just made a few substitutions to use what I had in the fridge. I love these flavors and the Chicken turned out beautifully crisp on the outside and tender on the inside! Thank you for sharing!!
I made this recipe on last evening. I followed the recipe to the letter…It had a wonderful flavor. The only critique I have is the sauce…don’t get me wrong it tasted GREAT. It was just absorbed into the thin spaghetti noodles way too quickly for me. Next time I may either double the sauce or lessen the amount of pasta. I also loved the fragrance and taste of the chicken. I also love when the house is scented with delicious home-cookin’ aroma. :)♥♥
