Welcome! I am so happy you chose to gather around my table. My name is Mia Swinehart and I am a registered dietitian with a passion for simple healthy recipes, women's hormonal health, and overall wellness!
Let me introduce you to the kind of dinner that checks all the boxes—bright, creamy, comforting, and surprisingly nourishing. This creamy lemon pasta is one of those recipes you can turn to when you want something easy and flavorful, but still made with ingredients that feel good for your body.
The magic is in the balance: tangy fresh lemon, rich and velvety cream, tender golden chicken, and a splash of bone broth for a subtle nutrient boost. It’s cozy without being heavy, and it comes together quickly with pantry and fridge staples. Even better? You can use any pasta you love—regular, gluten-free, chickpea, lentil, you name it. I’ve tried them all and they work beautifully.
Besides the creamy delish lemony sauce, we’re also making the besttt juiciest chicken to pair with the pasta! It’s so simple yet so, so perfect!
Whether you’re cooking for yourself, your family, or hosting a casual weeknight dinner, this dish looks impressive and tastes even better. Garnish with fresh parsley and a few extra lemon wedges for that perfect pop of freshness.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Pasta of choice
Chicken cutlets
Avocado or olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Lemon pepper seasoning (optional but delicious)
Butter
Garlic, minced
Bone broth
Juice of fresh lemon
Heavy cream
Fresh parsley, for garnish
This is the kind of pasta you’ll want to keep in your weekly rotation—quick enough for a Tuesday, delicious enough for date night. If you make this one, be sure to let me know how you like it! Enjoy! xo
