This creamy pasta dish incorporates a classic combination of flavors: lemon, chicken, and garlic. It's a nice change of pace from the usual pasta fare and even quicker to make if you have leftover chicken.

Bake in the preheated oven until juices run clear and chicken is no longer pink inside, about 40 minutes.
