what you’ll need:
8 oz Banza spaghetti noodles
1 1/2 lbs chicken tenders, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp paprika
for the sauce:
1-2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
Juice of 1 large lemon
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp honey
2 tbsp butter
½ cup grated Parmesan
for the topping:
freshly chopped chives
grated parmesan cheese
Instructions:
Cut the chicken into bite sized cubes and season with lemon pepper seasoning, garlic powder, and paprika.
Preheat a large skillet to medium-high heat. Once hot, add avocado oil and the seasoned chicken.
Sear chicken for 5-7 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Meanwhile, cook the Banza spaghetti noodles according to the package directions.
In the same pan used for the chicken, pour in the chicken broth, lemon juice, minced garlic, and honey.
Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
Turn heat to low, then whisk in 2 tbsp butter and heavy cream.
Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted. If the sauce is too thick, add more chicken stock a little bit at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
Toss the spaghetti noodles and chicken into the sauce and mix until well coated in sauce.
Top with fresh chives and extra parmesan cheese & enjoy!
