My whole family enjoyed this dish. I cooked fresh chicken (3 boneless, skinless breasts, cut small) in a skillet, added 3 cloves fresh garlic (minced), 1/2 c. butter, marjoram, pepper, and 4 T lemon juice and let simmer a few minutes, then threw in some frozen peas. I used a whole 13 oz box of dry whole-wheat angel hair (cooked, obviously!). I tossed it all together in a big pasta bowl and served hot. The kids ate it up (one even asked for seconds!).

This is so.......delicious. My husband loved it too. It's such a light tasting sauce but has so much flavor. I used lemon pepper rather than marjorim and cut up grilled chicken strips that were already cooked.. I also added some asparagas. So easy and quick to make too!
