This deliciously creamy lemon chicken pasta is a great weeknight dinner that even the kids will love. Using lean chicken fillets and low fat creme fraiche, this dish is lower in calories compared to most creamy pasta dishes.

📝 Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breast fillets
  • 150 g pasta
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp dill
  • juice from 1 lemon
  • lots of pepper, some salt
  • 150 ml low fat creme fraiche

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Boil some water in pot, and cook your pasta according to package instructions.
  2. 2Finely mince the garlic, and dice the chicken fillets. Heat some oil or cooking spray in a pan, and add both the garlic and chicken to cook until the chicken has cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3Add the dill, lemon, salt and pepper. I go quite heavy on the pepper in this dish. Leave to cook for a minute.
  4. 4Add the creme fraiche. Stir to combine the ingredients, and let it simmer for about 3 minutes until the sauce is warm and flavorful. That's our creamy lemon sauce done.
  5. 5Add the drained pasta to the creamy chicken sauce, and stir to coat the pasta completely. Allow the dish to rest, and make sure that the pasta has heated through in the sauce before plating up the finished creamy lemon chicken pasta to serve. Optionally, garnish with some fresh lemon slices and fresh coriander.
