Ingredients:
1 cup heavy cream
1 lemon, quartered
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 (8 ounce) package rotelle pasta
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place chicken in a lightly greased baking dish.
Squeeze lemon over both sides of the chicken breasts and season both sides using 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder and 3/4 teaspoon pepper.
Bake for 40 minutes, or until juices run clear and chicken is no longer pink inside.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, season the chicken broth with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Bring to a boil and add lemon juice and pasta. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until all liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes.
Cut cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and stir into cooked pasta, along with the cream and lemon zest.
Cook, stirring, over low heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Stir thoroughly before serving.
