Lemon Parm Pasta with Chicken

  • Author: Mix and Match Mama
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 to 6 1x

Description

Our simple pasta dish is the perfect (lighter!) option for warmer weather when you still want a noodle, but don’t want the heaviness of a Bolognese. Add a rotisserie chicken (or two!) and dinner is done!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound of pasta (we use gluten-free!)
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
  • the zest and juice of 2 lemons (about 2 tablespoons of zest and 1/2 cup or so of juice)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus more for garnish)
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1 or 2 rotisserie chickens, shredded and deboned

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to boil over medium-high heat.  Drop your pasta and cook to al dente (about 6 minutes or so).
  2. While your pasta is cooking, take your ready to eat rotisserie chicken(s) and remove the meat.  Set aside.
  3. Drain the water from the pasta and immediately add your other ingredients.  Toss in your EVOO, lemon zest, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, a pinch of salt and pepper and shredded chicken.
  4. Serve immediately with a little more zest and cheese to garnish.

Notes

Our family likes extra chicken, so we use the meat from two rotisserie chickens in this recipe.  We also use g-free pasta as well.
