My refrigerator was screaming at me to make a meal out of these ingredients. I had made pasta a week earlier and as per usual had stashed some away in the freezer to use at a later date. There were beautiful lemons in the fridge, chicken breasts, and heavy cream. A few peas in the freezer. The combination of all of these ingredients gave us a warm, almost Spring-time meal. I added in some dried rosemary because rosemary adds a rich flavor and really compliments lemons. This dish is really easy to make and can be made in under 30 minutes. Perfect for a week day meal.
