Simple and Delicious Lemon Chicken Pasta

Made a delicious meal the other night, and while the picture doesn't do the taste justice (you'll see what I mean later), the simplicity made me want to share.

Ingredients

Olive Oil

Balsamic Vinegar

Garlic

Salt and Pepper

Rosemary and Thyme (or other similar spices)

Chicken

Mushrooms (you could do another veggie, broccoli would be nice too)

Spaghetti noodles

Lemon (just the juice is fine)

Cheese (I used mozzarella, but parmesan is nice too)

First, cook the chicken and mushrooms in a skillet with a little bit of olive oil.

                                 

While that's cooking, make the pasta. By the way, I learned on Pinterest that if you put a spoon on top of the pot, the water won't boil over- almost completely true! (If it's turned up all the way, it will still go over).

 Then, heat the oil, and add the spices and vinegar. I was lazy and didn't use fresh garlic, which would have added a nice flavor (but the normal shake stuff is fine too).

The oil mixture only needs to heat for a minute or two. When that is finished, mix the pasta, chicken, and oil mixtures together. Add lemon juice (I used a half of a lemons worth). Then add as much cheese as desired.

Voila!

Like I said, not the most visually appealing.. I think because it's all brown..But the taste was nice, light but filling! Next time I think I will go for broccoli and carrots as well- what do you think would be good to add?
