Ingredients You’ll Need

To create this delightful Chicken Spaghetti with Burrata and Lemon Butter Garlic Sauce, you’ll need the following ingredients:

For the Chicken:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
Salt and black pepper to taste.
2 tablespoons of olive oil.
2 cloves of garlic, minced.
1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning (or a mix of dried basil, oregano, and thyme).

For the Lemon Butter Garlic Sauce:

4 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
4 cloves of garlic, minced.
Zest and juice of 1 lemon.
1/2 cup of heavy cream.
Salt and black pepper to taste.

For the Pasta:

8 ounces of spaghetti or your preferred pasta.
4 ounces of burrata cheese, torn into small pieces.
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish.

Preparing Your Chicken Spaghetti

Step 1: Season and Cook the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts generously with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for a minute until fragrant.
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side or until they are cooked through and have a golden-brown crust. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside to rest.

Step 2: Create the Lemon Butter Garlic Sauce

In the same skillet, add the unsalted butter and minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for about a minute until it becomes aromatic.
Pour in the lemon juice and zest, followed by the heavy cream. Stir the mixture gently and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes until it thickens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 3: Cook the Pasta

While preparing the sauce, cook the spaghetti or your preferred pasta according to the package instructions until it’s al dente.
Drain the cooked pasta and set it aside.

Step 4: Assemble the Dish

Slice the rested chicken breasts into thin strips.
In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked pasta, lemon butter garlic sauce, and sliced chicken. Toss everything together until the pasta is coated evenly with the sauce.
Gently fold in the torn burrata cheese pieces, allowing them to slightly melt into the pasta.

Savoring Your Chicken Spaghetti

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Garnish your Chicken Spaghetti with Burrata and Lemon Butter Garlic Sauce with fresh basil leaves for a burst of color and flavor. Serve immediately while it’s hot and creamy.
