Notes

For the best results, make sure the chicken breasts are of even thickness to ensure they cook evenly. When making the lemon pasta, adjust the amount of lemon juice and zest to your taste preference for a more or less tangy flavor. Additionally, keep an eye on the honey glaze to prevent burning, as it can quickly caramelize.
