Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • ½ Red onion, chopped
  • 1 pound organic chicken tenders, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon Himalayan Sea-salt
  • 1 tablespoon  black pepper
  • ½ tbsp onion salt
  • ½ tablespoon garlic salt
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • ½ tablespoon seasoning salt
  • 2 Meyer Lemons, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-n-half
  • 2 cups chicken bone broth
  • 1 package linguini

Instructions
 

  • In a large Dutch Oven, add the EVOO, chopped onion and saute the onion until translucent. 
  • Add the cubed chicken. 
  • Season the chicken with the Himalayan sea-salt, black pepper, onion salt, garlic salt, paprika, and seasoning salt, and saute over medium heat for 5-minutes. 
  • Place the sliced lemons on the chicken and cover and simmer on low heat for 5-minutes. 
  • Add the chicken bone broth and the half-n-half. 
  • Next, add the pasta and cover and simmer for 10-minutes, stirring occasionally so that the pasta doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. 
  • Add the Creamy Lemon Chicken pasta to serving bowls and top with fresh parmesan lemon zest

Notes

You can add in red pepper flakes and red pepper to bring out the lemon flavor even more and give this pasta dish a bite! The red pepper chili flakes are also delicious in the cream sauce. 
  • Add extra lemon zest for even more flavor!
