2 tbsp. olive oil
12 oz. pasta
3 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp. neufchatel or low-fat cream cheese
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
1 cup low-fat, 2% milk
2 tsp. all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. grated lemon zest
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp. unsalted butter
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Method

01

For the chicken: Pat chicken dry. Season with salt and pepper. In a large resealable bag, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic and lemon juice for 4 to 18 hours.
02

Preheat a grill to high. Clean grate.
03

Make the sauce: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and lemon zest and cook until the garlic is slightly soft, about 1 minute.
04

Add in the flour and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and salt and cook, whisking constantly, until just thickened, about 3 minutes.
05

Add the neufchatel and parmesan cheese; whisk until melted, about 1 minute. Stir in the chopped parsley.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lemon pasta and cook until al dente, according to manufacturer's instructions. Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and return to the pot.
08

Add the sauce and 1/2 cup the reserved cooking water to the pasta and gently toss to combine, adding more cooking water as needed to loosen. Season with salt and pepper.
