1
The dish is actually really simple to make.
-
2
Although, in the picture, there are no peas in the dish.
-
3
All I had was canned peas, and canned peas gross me out.
-
4
I promise frozen peas taste much better!
-
5
First, season your chicken with salt and pepper.
-
6
I got frisky and added garlic powder as well.
-
7
Heat pan on medium-high heat and add a Tablespoon of olive oil or butter or olive oil and butter.
-
8
Whateves.
-
9
You will cook chicken for about 10 minutes, flipping half way through, until no longer pink in the middle.
-
10
While chicken cooks, chop parsley and garlic and grate parmesan.
-
11
Grab a lemon and roll it on a hard surface, putting pressure on the lemon.
-
12
This will make juicing it much easier.
-
13
If you have whole slices of bacon, chop up into small pieces.
-
14
If you are like me, you can use packaged bacon pieces.
-
15
Remove cooked chicken from the pan, chop it up into small pieces and return it to the pan with the bacon.
-
16
Cook on low for a minute or two to release the bacon flavor.
-
17
Move bacon and chicken to a bowl and set aside.
-
18
Heat up a pot of water for boiling the tortellini or ravioli, both work great.
-
19
For the lemon-parsley sauce:
-
20
Add 1 Tablespoon of butter to the same pan you cooked the chicken and bacon in, melt on medium heat.
-
21
Add garlic and cook for about a minute constantly stirring.
-
22
Add parsley and 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice.
-
23
Stir and cook for about 30 seconds.
-
24
Reduce heat to low and add cream.
-
25
Add salt and pepper to taste.
-
26
You will have to stir sauce periodically.
-
27
Also, do a taste test to see if you need more seasoning, parsley or lemon.
-
28
Now, start boiling your pasta, but keep cooking and stirring the sauce as the pasta is boiling.
-
29
Boil pasta according to package I think it is around 7 minutes.
-
30
Then drain it and return pasta to the pot and turn off the heat on the sauce.
-
31
Add sauce, chicken, bacon and peas into the pot with the pasta.
-
32
Turn heat to low and stir.
-
33
Cook until peas are warmed through.
-
34
Serve with lots and lots of parmesan cheese on top!
