Recipe Instructions
1
Combine the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl. Toss the chicken breasts in the flour mixture and set aside.
2
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Reserve ¼ cup of the pasta water after draining.
3
In the empty pasta pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, return the pasta and reserved water, and toss with salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons chopped parsley.
4
In a skillet over medium heat, melt ¼ cup salted butter. Add the chopped garlic and stir until fragrant.
5
Add the chicken to the skillet and brown for 2 minutes on each side. Then add broth, lemon juice, and lemon slices. Flip the chicken again and continue cooking.
6
Use your
ThermoPro TP19 Instant-Read Meat Thermometer
to check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Cook time depends on thickness.

Once cooked, garnish chicken with remaining parsley. Serve over the buttered pasta and optionally top with red pepper flakes. Enjoy!
