Easy Lemon Garlic Chicken

Here's an easy dish I threw together tonight that was a big hit.  Simple and delicious!

Ingredients
4-6 chicken breasts
Olive oil
Salt
1-2 cloves garlic, minced.  I used the roasted garlic I roasted last weekend and froze.
1 lemon
Any pasta as a side dish
Grated parmesan cheese


Directions
Heat up olive oil in a cast iron skillet and mix in the minced garlic.  Cut lemon in half and squeeze out the juice, setting aside.  Salt the chicken breasts, then sauté your chicken breasts over medium heat until there is no pink inside (165 degrees internally). Add lemon juice to the pan and ensure you get the juice on both sides of the chicken.  It forms a nice brown caramelized coating on the chicken and is delicious.

While the chicken is cooking, prepare your pasta.  I chose tri-color rotini and boiled mine in chicken broth to get even more flavor.  Drain the pasta and grate parmesan cheese over it, stirring the cheese throughout.

This is such an easy dish that makes it a good one for after work.  The whole family liked it and it is definitely going into the rotation.
