Instructions

Prep the Veg
1

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp salt for the linguine.

Halve the lemon. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Slice the sugar snap peas in half lengthways. 

Fry the Chicken
2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Fry until golden brown on the outside and cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle. 

Cook the Pasta
3

While the chicken cooks, add the linguine to the pan of boiling water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins.

When the pasta is cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

Sauce Things Up
4

Once the chicken is cooked, add the garlic and fry for 1 min.

Stir the sugar snap peas, creme fraiche and chicken stock paste into the same pan. Squeeze in some lemon juice and add the water for the sauce (see ingredients for amount), then stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

Bring to the boil, mix in half the Italian style hard cheese, then lower the heat and simmer until slightly thickened, 5-6 mins.

Combine and Stir
5

Once thickened, add the cooked pasta to the creamy sauce. Toss together to coat well.

Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed.

Serve
6

Share the creamy chicken linguine between your bowls.

Top with a sprinkling of the remaining cheese.

Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: The creamy, lemony sauce is delicious, though some found it needed more lemon zest or juice for a stronger citrus taste.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and simple to make, with clear instructions that are easy to follow.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding extra vegetables like mushrooms or spinach for more depth and nutrition.
  • Next-day meals: Leftovers keep well and taste great the next day, making it good for meal prep.
  • Portions: Some found the chicken portion a bit small; upgrading to chicken breast may improve the dish.
