Ingredients

8 oz linguine or your favorite pasta

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced

Salt and black pepper, to taste

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 2 lemons

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup black olives, sliced

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Method

Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain.

Season the sliced chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken slices and cook until browned on both sides and fully cooked. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, cherry tomatoes, and sliced black olives. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Toss in the cooked pasta, adding a bit of reserved pasta water if needed to create a luscious sauce that coats the pasta evenly.

Finish by sprinkling fresh parsley over the pasta. Serve with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
