Let’s talk about the flavors of summer and my love for spaghetti for a minute. When I think about summer, my mind goes straight to the grill. But grillin’ isn’t always my vibe. Don’t get me wrong, I love the grill; it can make cooking in the summer so much easier but I’m a carb girl. I cannot live on meat alone; I need some pasta in my life. But a heavy marinara sauce meal in July isn’t my thing either. Good thing I love lemon and, when mixed with chicken and spaghetti noodles, well, that’s a meal I can get into.
This Lemon Chicken Spaghetti is full of summertime flavor. It might look like a hard meal to put together but I promise this will only take 20-30 minutes and you will have it table ready. I can also promise your family will be requesting this one fall, winter and springtime, too. Now that’s what I call a savvy winner, winner chicken dinner!
Till next time, I will be Doin’ My Best at Cookin’ Savvy!
