🍋Lemony Grilled Chicken w/ Greek Spaghetti
This is my favorite easy go to dinner any time of the year!
In my house we call this pasta “Greek spaghetti” but in full reality it is just buttered noodles with some twists😊
Chicken:
Oil
Squeeze juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Thyme
1 tsp Oregano
Salt
Pepper
Dash of paprika
*this time i also added Trader Joe’s “everything but the stuffing” seasoning. It is SO good!
** measure with your heart. If you feel like something needs more add it!! 🤍👩🍳
Grill using a thermometer to 165° and let rest till it reaches 170°
Greek Spaghetti:
1 stick salted butter
1 1/2 cup Parmesan
Spaghetti noodles
Place butter in a sauce pan on medium heat and allow the butter to heat up to the point that it starts to brown. Once your top layer of bubbles starts to turn golden with a brown center the butter is done. Be careful not to burn your butter!!
Place your cooked pasta in a dish and mix in your Parmesan. Once both ingredients have been mixed together drizzle your browned butter over your pasta.
The butter melts the cheese and becomes the most delicious spin on regular buttered noodles! 🤤
Let me know if you try it!

When preparing Lemony Grilled Chicken with Greek Spaghetti, the key to success lies in using fresh ingredients and proper seasoning. The flavor profile of this dish is elevated by the addition of fresh lemon juice, which enhances the grilled chicken's taste. Experimenting with spices like oregano and thyme adds depth to the dish, while the browned butter sauce creates a rich, nutty flavor for the spaghetti. For an authentic Greek touch, consider adding ingredients like diced tomatoes, olives, or feta cheese to your Greek spaghetti. This not only enriches the flavor but also gives texture to the dish. Additionally, serving the chicken alongside seasonal vegetables can turn this easy recipe into a more nutritious meal. To optimize the preparation, ensure that the chicken is cooked to the recommended temperature of 165°F—using a meat thermometer helps prevent overcooking and ensures juiciness. Leftovers from this dish can be transformed into delightful salads or pasta bakes, making it a versatile addition to your meal planning. Enjoy the process of cooking, and don’t forget to adjust ingredients based on your palate!
