Lemon Chicken Fettuccine: An Easy Chicken Pasta Dinner
Calling all pasta lovers! Today, we’re putting a citrusy spin on a traditional dish that will become your new go-to meal 👉 Lemon Chicken Fettuccine!
I need a pasta intervention. I seem to make pasta every other day. Every few days, I change it up a bit and make us eat green things, like Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad with Avocado and Pistachios. OR, I get all ethnic on us and prepare this Meat and Potato Casserole. A-may-zing!
However, this delightful pasta dish takes us on a journey of flavors. We’re talking about juicy pieces of chicken, tender fettuccine noodles, juicy tomatoes, and earthy mushrooms, all brought together with a tangy kick of lemon juice and the smooth, rich flavor of olive oil.
What’s more, this dish comes together in no time at all. It’s a quick, easy, and delicious solution for those busy weeknight dinners, but also impressive enough to serve guests on special occasions. Trust us; it’s a crowd-pleaser!
Ingredients for Chicken Fettuccine
- lemon
- chicken
- tomatoes
- mushrooms
- fettuccine… you can also use these Carba-Nada Noodles. I love them!
- blood, sweat, tears… I forgot the pickles. 😁
As far as I see it, if I can have my pasta, protein, AND some veggies in one pot, sans creamy sauce?? It’s a definite winner! I mean, creamy sauce wins, always, but sometimes the jiggle beneath my wings insists on healthier options. 🙄
Preparation
The time has come to put that pot of water to boil, grab your lemon squeezer, and hop into the chicken to make this Lemon Chicken Fettuccine.
- First, start with preparing the noodles. In the meantime, cut the chicken into cubes, season it with salt and pepper, and add it to a hot skillet; cook until browned.
- Then, stir in the grape tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, and parsley;drain the fettuccine and add it to the skillet.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper; add it to the skillet. Toss it all together, taste it for salt and pepper, adjust, and boom! Dinner is ready.
Serving Suggestions for Chicken and Pasta
- Bread: A classic companion to any pasta dish is bread! If you have a minute or a day, make my Slow Cooker Basil Pesto Bread. 🙌
- Green Salad: A light, refreshing green salad can balance the richness of the pasta. Try my Chopped Egg, Cucumber, and Tomato Salad. You’ll ❤️ it!
- Grilled Vegetables: If you haven’t yet, it’s time you made my Grilled Vegetables with Halloumi.
In a nutshell, I’m trying to inspire you to reinvent your pasta nights with this Lemon Chicken Fettuccine. Because who can resist the call of pasta, especially when given a zesty, flavor-packed twist like this? Essentially, we’re adding boiled pasta into a pan with chicken, mushrooms, and tomatoes.And while this pasta dish is pretty, comforting, and easy, it’s also warm, citrusy, and incredibly delicious.
