Browned Butter and Lemon Pasta with Chicken
We cook butter until the milk solids caramelize to add nutty fragrance and flavor to this pasta dish. The richness of the browned butter is balanced with a generous measure of aromatic lemon zest and tart, tangy lemon juice. Either boneless chicken breasts or thighs work, and for allium savoriness, scallions, garlic or shallot all do well, so use whatever you prefer.

Excellent quick dish with Amalfi Coast flavors
Delicious and easy to prepare. Quick as well. Instructions for use of the green parts of the scallions are missing from the recipe.

Quick and Yummy!
I am adding this to my busy weeknight arsenal! For a very simple dish, it packs comforting flavor that can be customized to your taste--I added roasted garlic powder, for instance. This a great dish for folks who want an easy to make dish and who love the butter and lemon flavor combo.
