Took the inspiration and added few more spices while cooking chicken and mixing pasta. Made it for a huge party and everyone raved about it. Thanks Tasty for inspiring. The spices that I added with chicken were garlic salt, black pepper, paprika and salt to taste. It really added flavor to the pasta. I also added spinach and cherry tomatoes.

If you add to much lemon, use milk and butter to calm it

I’d add a more lemon next time as I like a strong lemony taste

My hubby just told me to never stop making this!!!! I did cook the pasta a little bit before putting it in the dish. I used boneless skinless thighs. It was amazing!
