Cream cheese makes a quick velvety sauce with less saturated fat.

Ingredients

2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil 12 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2" pieces kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1/4 c. fresh lemon juice 4 c. low-sodium chicken broth 12 oz. gemelli or other short pasta 4 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature 1 c. peas, thawed if frozen 2 tsp. lemon zest 1/2 c. finely grated Parmesan 1 tbsp. finely chopped tarragon

Instructions

Heat oil in a large deep skillet on medium-high heat. Season chicken with 1 ⁄4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook until golden brown on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes; transfer to a large bowl. Add lemon juice to pan, scraping up the brown bits, then pour over chicken in the bowl. Add the broth and pasta to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, for 10 minutes. Return chicken (and any juices) to the skillet and continue to cook until pasta is just tender, about 3 minutes. Add the cream cheese, stirring to melt, then fold in the peas, lemon zest, Parmesan and tarragon.
