Angel Hair Pasta With Lemon and Chicken

Commented by: sarah70744

So I made this for dinner last night and I thought it was pretty good. My girls like the chicken and my husband liked it all. I added a little more lemon juice and I left out the marjoram. (I couldn't find any at the store) Will definitely try it again.

I am going to try and make this more WW friendly. I am going to sub the pasta with Dreamfields pasta for lowers carbs, 5 or so sprays of FF butter and drizzle with healthy olive oil to replace the 1/3 cup of butter. I suppose a dash of white wine may good too.

Made this meal tonight and it was a hit with my husband, the pickiest eater on the planet. :) I added some fresh garlic and chives when cooking the chicken and served the entree with fresh, steamed green beans! Yummy!

Too much butter and the chicken itself should have been seasoned. This tasted more like a side dish than a main dish in my opinion. It was good though, just needs a little tweaking

This is a great dish! My husband refused to try it because I used wheat pasta (which I bought especially for him cuz of his high cholesterol). Me & the kids loved it! I followed the recipe exactly and wouldn't change a thing! I used chicken breast strips, just cooked them on the stove top in about 1 tbsp olive oil. I will make this often, as it's a very healthy dish that I can serve with a smile!

I'll definitely add this one on my list! I already tried cooking this and the taste is really good. This gives me an idea what to cook on food festival. This will start this weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina. My kids are now looking forward for this event. And because this is festival, this calls for food. That's why I am really preparing on what food to cook during this activity.

Liked, be careful with the pasta, definitely don't overcook, if using dry pasta, make sure you measure as well. My wife started the pasta before I came home and did the entire package, not about half of it as the recipe would require. will try again some other time, sure it is great.

My family loved it. I used gluten free noodles, reduced the butter to 1/4 cup and added sauteed spinach and sauteed garlic (in place of Garlic Powder). I found it on the mild side but served lemon wedges on the side for more zip. I will try using olive oil or non-hydrogenated margarine next time for a healthier fat version.

It was a hit with the whole family the first time when i followed the recipe to a T, and again the second when I added a few veggies. Like karenkaren I used dry pasta. It's cheaper :)

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!

I have recently ventured into the kitchen (late bloomer) and this was my first dish. My husband and daughter are very picky and hard to please. We all loved this dish and finished every bite of it. It is in our "favorites" file now. I also used dry noodles and it came out great!

I really loved this pasta dish. I get bored with spaghetti sauce and don't like how "heavy" alfredo sauce can be...so this was a great alternative. It has a nice light flavor and was very refreshing. I used the Buitoni pasta, but I imagine it is great with any kind of pasta. I'm going to make some right now actually!

This recipe was really good. I used dried pasta rather than fresh (a bunch about 1 3/4" in diameter) and it was fine. I also used chopped garlic rather than garlic powder because it was all I had in the house which worked out well. The hot pasta softened it and the flavour spread throughout. At first using that much lemon juice with few other ingredients seemed like a bad idea but it actually worked beutifully. The flavour is subtle and tastes great. I will definitely use this recipe again when I'm feeling like a light, easy to make pasta dish.

My husband and I really liked this recipe. My husband who is a chef said that it was refreshing and a great summertime pasta dish. He ate most of what was on his plate which is a big deal since he doesn't eat that much pasta. I didn't use the refrig. pasta I just used dried which was fine.
