This easy lemon pasta dish is topped with crispy parmesan coated chicken!
I thoroughly enjoyed this recipe because it reminds me a ton of the first recipes I tried that was a savory lemon recipe, Lemon Fettuccine. But with garlic. My crispy chicken got a little crispy (sometimes that happens when I get distracted in the kitchen - especially with multiple things going on). We paired ours with asparagus because 1) we love it and 2) it's in season so it's cheaper and 3) it goes really well with a lemon dish. I used the zest of the lemon I needed for this recipe for the asparagus.
