Baked lemon chicken with creamy Parmesan sauce for a comforting meal.
Ingredients:
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 (16 ounce) package farfalle (bow-tie) pasta
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 0.5 cup dry white wine
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced, divided
  • 0.5 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups chicken stock, or more as needed
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper, or to taste
  • 0.75 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and grease a casserole dish or a 9x13-inch pan.
  • Prepare the chicken by slicing or cubing it, then delicately season it with the savory combination of 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a dash of 1/8 teaspoon of pepper.
  • Bring a generously salted large pot of water to a rolling boil. Boil farfalle for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain, cover, and set aside.
  • In a large pan over medium-high heat, melt butter with olive oil. Saute chicken until lightly browned, around 5 minutes. Pour in wine and simmer briefly for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and lemon juice, cooking gently for another 1 to 2 minutes, being careful not to brown the garlic.
  • Lower the heat and incorporate cream cheese, stirring until smooth. Combine flour with sour cream, mix thoroughly, and add to the pan. Pour in chicken stock, parsley, thyme, red pepper, salt, and pepper. Simmer until slightly thickened. Adjust consistency with more stock if needed. Finish by removing from heat.
  • Stir in 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese and lemon zest until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Mix in the partially cooked farfalle until fully coated. Transfer the mixture to a baking or casserole pan and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake covered for 15 minutes in a preheated oven. Uncover and bake for an additional 7 to 10 minutes until lightly browned.
