• For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in lemon juice and dill for 30 minutes before cooking.
• If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of chicken broth or pasta cooking water to thin it out.

• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the pasta in a skillet with a splash of chicken broth or cream to prevent it from drying out.
