Ingredients
Scale
200 grams of pasta (penne or fettuccine)
450 grams of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 can (14 oz) of artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
240 milliliters of heavy cream
50 grams of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
30 milliliters of olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, minced
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain the rest and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and add them to the pan. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
Add the artichoke hearts to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Then pour in the heavy cream, lemon juice, and zest. Stir until combined and let simmer for a couple of minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken back into the skillet. Toss everything together, adding a bit of reserved pasta water if needed to achieve the desired creaminess. Finally, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, ensuring it melts into the sauce.
Serve your creamy lemon artichoke chicken pasta immediately, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
