Lemon Butter Chicken Pasta
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add chicken and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook until no longer pink, 10 minutes per side.

  2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair according to package directions until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water, and set aside.

  3. Transfer chicken to a plate and add butter to the skillet. Let melt, then add garlic and red onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then add lemon juice, zest, and slices. Stir in crushed red pepper flakes and cook for another 4-5 minutes or until lemon slices start to soften. Pour in ¼ cup reserved pasta water.

  4. Dice the cooked chicken into 1-inch pieces and return chicken to skillet, along with spinach. Gently toss until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.

  5. Add angel hair and toss until combined. (Add more pasta water if desired.)

  6. Top with grated Parmesan.
