Baked Pasta with Lemon Chicken
adapted from a recipe in the Dream Dinners cookbook

4 cups cooked spaghetti
1 pound cooked, diced chicken
1/2 cup fresh (or dried) parsley
2 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika (or 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes)
1/3 cup white wine
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Spray one 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

In large bowl, stir all ingredients to combine. Transfer to prepared baking dish.

Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes until chicken is heated through.

Serves 6.

NOTES:

This recipe can be frozen. Mix ingredients and transfer to a resealable freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in refrigerator before cooking as above.

You can substitute the same amount of shrimp for the cooked chicken.

We LOVE this recipe! It's mild and tasty - it reminds me of something from a restaurant. The wine gives it a nice depth. Great with french bread!

It's also a very forgiving recipe. Feel free to play with the amount of seasoning, broth, wine, and lemon juice according to your tastes. It always turns out great regardless of how I tweak it!
