Honey Lemon Chicken with Angel Hair Pasta

If you’re a lemon lover or a fan of easy dinners that taste like a million bucks but that are really so simple, you’ll love this healthy recipe for those busy nights.

Lemon and honey are so good together and the dish is bright, tangy-and-sweet, and perfect for warmer weather. It’s a fast, easy recipe that the whole family will love and it’s ready in 20 minutes. I used angel hair pasta because it cooks quickly and the bite-sized chicken does too. After cooking the pasta, it’s transferred into the skillet the chicken cooks in, and everything is tossed together in the honey lemon sauce the chicken simmers in. The sauce keeps the chicken moist, tender, and it’s tart yet sweet enough and coats the pasta perfectly.
