Boil a large pot of salted water. Add your favorite pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes.

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bite-sized pieces of chicken breast and sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes.

Toss in minced garlic and let it sauté for an additional minute, stirring frequently until fragrant.

Squeeze fresh lemon juice into the skillet, then add a splash of chicken broth and zest for extra flavor. Stir well to combine, letting it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.

Drain the cooked pasta and add it directly to the skillet with the chicken and sauce. Toss everything together, ensuring each strand is coated beautifully with the sauce.

Remove from heat and sprinkle chopped parsley over the pasta for a fresh burst of color and flavor. Give it one last toss before serving!
