Lemon Parmesan Chicken Pasta

Lemon Parmesan Chicken Pasta is a healthy dinner idea that is quick and easy! We love trying new things!

This recipe is one for the books. I have been attempting to eat more healthy these days so I’m trying to move away from my favorite pasta, Alfredo. I love Alfredo so dang much! It’s so bad for me, I know this. This was super good, the lemon makes the dish so fresh and delicious!

Ingredients

8 oz whole-wheat penne pasta
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
Juice and zest of 1 large lemon
4 cups chopped fresh spinach
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Directions

Cook pasta according to package directions, for Al Dente. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in wine, lemon juice and zest; bring to a simmer.
Remove from heat. Stir in spinach and the cooked pasta. Cover and let stand until the spinach is just wilted. Divide among 4 plates and top with parmesan evenly.
