Lemon Chicken Fettuccine

Lemon Chicken Fettuccine: Savory Sweet and Satisfying

In the summer time I like to make lighter meals and stay away from the heavy meals. Even though this dish has pasta, it had a lighter taste to it, thanks to the of the fresh ingredients, like tomatoes, mushrooms and lemon juice.

Lemon Chicken Fettuccine

Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces fettuccine noodles
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • black pepper, to taste
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes, cut in half
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons dried parsley
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • grated parmesan cheese, to taste

Directions:

  1. Cook the fettuccine noodles according to the package directions and drain.
  2. In a large skillet, over medium heat, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil.
  3. Season the cubed chicken with black pepper and add to the skillet. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides.
  4. Add in the tomatoes, mushrooms and parsley. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is completely cooked, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, juiced lemon and minced garlic.
  6. When the chicken is done, add the cooked and drained fettuccine to the skillet and lemon juice mixture. Stir to mix everything together and remove from the heat.
  7. Season with black pepper, if desired.
  8. Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.
Enjoy!!!
