Lemon Chicken Pasta

In this easy lemon chicken pasta recipe, we love the combination of lemon zest and toasted breadcrumbs. This healthy dinner is made with rotisserie chicken, quick-cooking spiralized zucchini and baby spinach, so you get a complete meal in just 10 minutes.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup spiralized zucchini (see tip)
1 cup baby spinach
½ cup shredded skinless rotisserie chicken breast
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground pepper
½ cup cooked whole-wheat spaghetti
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon panko breadcrumbs, toasted (see tip)

Directions

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini; cook for 1 minute. Add spinach and chicken; cook for 1 more minute. Season with salt and pepper; remove from heat. Add cooked spaghetti, Parmesan, lemon zest, and lemon juice; toss to combine. Sprinkle with toasted panko and serve.
