Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 lemon, quartered
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
  • 2 14.5 ounce cans chicken broth
  • 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 8 ounce package rotelle pasta
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

Method
 

  1. Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Place chicken in a lightly greased baking dish. Squeeze lemon over both sides of the chicken breasts and season both sides using 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder and ¾ teaspoon pepper.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until juices run clear and chicken is no longer pink inside, about 40 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, season the chicken broth with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  5. Bring to a boil and add lemon juice and pasta. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until all liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes.
  6. Cut cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and stir into cooked pasta, along with the cream and lemon zest. Cook, stirring, over low heat for 5 minutes.
