Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

In a medium sized bowl or shallow container, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, lemon pepper, garlic powder and thyme leaves.
Cut chicken breasts into one inch chunks and add to the marinade, tossing to completely coat the chicken. Cover and refrigerate for one hour, stirring about halfway through
When the chicken is done marinating, cook the pasta according to package instructions.
While the pasta is cooking, heat a skillet or saute pan over medium heat on the stove top. Cook marinated chicken pieces for 3-5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Add 1/3 cup of the pasta cooking water to the pan with the chicken to deglaze it. Scrape the bottom of it to remove any stuck on bits and remove the chicken off of the heat.
When the pasta is done cooking, drain it completely and add it back to the pot.
Add in the cooked chicken pieces, along with all of the juices and toss with the fresh parsley.
