How to Make Angel Hair Pasta With Lemon And Chicken

  1. Cook 8 ounces of angel hair pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add 1 pound of cooked chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces, to the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon of dried marjoram, and salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine. Add a little pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
  6. Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and a side of your favorite green salad.
