Ingredients
Scale
Spaghetti
- 8 oz spaghetti
Chicken
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 12 oz)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Sauce
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Cheese
- 1 ball (about 4 oz) burrata cheese
Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and slice into strips or bite-sized pieces.
- Make the lemon butter garlic sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to low and add the butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in lemon zest and juice, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
- Toss everything together: Add the cooked spaghetti and sliced chicken back into the skillet with the sauce, tossing gently to coat evenly. Carefully add torn pieces of burrata cheese on top and let it warm slightly from the heat of the pasta before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add chopped fresh parsley or basil when tossing the spaghetti.
- You can substitute chicken thighs for a juicier option.
- Use fresh garlic to maximize the sauce’s flavor.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the burrata’s creamy texture.
