Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Season chicken breasts with salt, smoked paprika, and Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil in a skillet and cook chicken for about 10 minutes until golden and cooked through. Thinly slice the chicken.
  3. In the same skillet, add lemon slices, more minced garlic, and butter. Cook on low-medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Cook spaghetti in boiling salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and add to skillet with lemon butter garlic sauce, tossing to coat.
  5. Stir in sliced chicken and roasted tomatoes into the skillet. Toss gently to combine, adding pasta water if needed for a silkier sauce.
