For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of butter to the skillet along with the lemon juice. Feel free to add other vegetables like asparagus, bell peppers, or spinach to the dish. A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese adds a nice salty and savory element. If you don't have lemon-pepper seasoning, you can use a combination of black pepper and lemon zest. Make sure not to overcook the chicken, or it will become dry. Cook until just cooked through.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
7 mins
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced chicken breasts and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. (Estimated time: 7-10 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
Add lemon juice, lemon-pepper seasoning, and minced garlic to the skillet with the chicken. Stir to coat and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly reduce. (Estimated time: 2 minutes)
03
Step
12 mins
While the chicken is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the farfalle pasta and cook according to package directions, about 10-12 minutes, or until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water. (Estimated time: 12 minutes)
04
Step
2 mins
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the chicken and lemon-pepper sauce. Toss to combine. If the pasta seems dry, add a little of the reserved pasta water to create a creamy sauce. (Estimated time: 2 minutes)

Jul 1, 2025I found the sauce a little too tart for my taste, so I added a pinch of sugar to balance it out.
