Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken with Creamy Parmesan Pasta

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta

  • Boil salted water and cook pasta until al dente.
  • Drain and toss with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.

2. Make the Cream Sauce

  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Sauté garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Stir in Parmesan and whisk until smooth.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

3. Marinate the Chicken

  • In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, olive oil, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper.
  • Add chicken and toss to coat.
  • Marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours).

4. Grill the Chicken

  • Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high.
  • Grill chicken 5–7 minutes per side until cooked through and caramelized.
  • Let rest for a few minutes.

5. Assemble & Serve

  • Toss pasta in the cream sauce until evenly coated.
  • Plate and top with grilled chicken.
  • Drizzle any leftover glaze over the chicken.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

🌿 Tips & Variations

  • Make it Moroccan: Add a pinch of ras el hanout to the chicken marinade or stir saffron into the cream sauce for a local twist.
  • Lighter Option: Swap cream for coconut milk and use grilled tofu for a plant-based version.
  • Add Color: Serve with roasted cherry tomatoes or steamed broccoli for brightness and balance.
  • Storage: Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of cream or milk.
