Ingredients

Chicken Marinade

Pasta

Instructions

  • For the marinade: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, brown sugar, and seasonings. Whisk to combine.
  • Cut the chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces. Put the chicken into a shallow bowl or ziplock bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken. Refrigerate for at least an hour, or for up to 12 hours.
  • For the pasta: Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, green onions, and parsley in a small bowl. Stir to combine.
  • Cook the pasta in lightly salted water according to package directions. Drain, and return the pasta to the pot. Pour the lemon juice/green onion mixture over the pasta and toss to combine.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and the marinade to the skillet. Spread out into an even layer and cook for 5-6 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Add the chicken and cooked marinade over the pasta and toss everything together. Add the fresh parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Serve immediately.
