Greek Lemon Chicken With Angel Hair Pasta

Submitted by Bibliobethica

"A delicious one dish casserole. It's special enough for special events like bridal showers or graduation. It's an amazing dish! A local caterer uses this recipe and I found out it was in Creme de Colorado Cookbook. but I have never found it online. I've adjusted it slightly from their version to make it even better. After being asked for this recipe many time, I decided to post it."

Absolutely delicious! Made exactly as according to recipe, I would definitely make this again, the only part that really takes a bit of time is marinating the chicken strips, just needs thinking ahead. I assembled everything I needed prior to cooking. I really enjoyed this recipe, made for Spring PAC 2014, thank you Bibliobethica

I printed this out and was so focused on the ingredients, I didn't realize there are no instructions on how to cook the chicken. Also, Muenster Cheese is not listed in the ingredients, only in the instructions. I'm cooking the chicken in a skillet before I assemble all of the ingredients for the sauce. I don't know what the end results will be.
