Cooking Steps
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.
-
Trim green beans if necessary. Zest and halve lemon lengthwise; thinly slice half the lemon into half-moons (remove seeds from half-moons). Peel and mince or grate garlic. Roughly chop parsley. Grate Parmesan into a medium bowl.
-
Once water is boiling, add linguine to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water (1½ cups for 4 servings), then drain.
-
While pasta cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add green beans, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and softened, 4-6 minutes.
-
Turn off heat; transfer green beans to a plate. Toss with a pinch of lemon zest; tent with foil to keep warm. Wipe out pan.
-
Pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Place between two large pieces of plastic wrap; pound with a mallet or rolling pin until about ½ inch thick. Season all over with salt and pepper.
- Place flour in a large bowl; add chicken and turn to fully coat.
-
In pan used for green beans, heat 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) and a large drizzle of oil over medium-high heat. Add coated chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side.
-
Remove pan from heat. Transfer chicken to a cutting board. Let pan cool 2-3 minutes.
-
Melt 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) in pan used for chicken over medium heat. Add garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
-
Stir in mayonnaise, stock concentrates, half the vinegar, remaining lemon zest, ½ cup reserved pasta cooking water (ladle straight from pot if pasta hasn’t finished cooking yet), and a squeeze of lemon juice (all the vinegar and 1 cup reserved pasta cooking water for 4). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
-
Return chicken to pan. Cook, flipping, until sauce has thickened and chicken is fully coated, 2-3 minutes. Transfer chicken to a cutting board.
- To pan with sauce, add lemon half-moons, drained linguine, half the parsley, and half the Parmesan; toss until well combined (if sauce seems too thick, stir in splashes of reserved pasta cooking water). Season with salt and pepper.
-
Thinly slice chicken crosswise.
-
Divide pasta between plates. Top with chicken, remaining Parmesan, and remaining parsley. Serve with green beans on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The lemon-garlic flavor is bright and well-loved by many, though some found it too lemony — use less lemon juice or skip the lemon half-moons in the pasta if you prefer a milder taste. The vinegar in the sauce divided reviewers; some felt it added a pleasant tang, others found it overpowering or gave the sauce a bad aftertaste.
- Ease of prep: This recipe has many simultaneous steps and takes longer than advertised — plan for closer to 50 minutes and have extra hands or patience ready. Several reviewers noted the sauce was tricky to get right, often turning oily or failing to thicken.
- Suggestions: To help the sauce thicken, save the flour from coating the chicken and whisk it into the butter-garlic base to form a roux before adding liquids. Some found that adding cream cheese, heavy cream, or a splash of half-and-half gave the sauce the creaminess the recipe promises. Start the green beans later in the process so they stay hot by the time the chicken and sauce are done.
- Leftovers: Portions are hearty and leftovers reheat well — one reviewer even got compliments on the smell at work the next day 🎉.
- Green beans: Many found the green beans an odd pairing or preferred them steamed or oven-roasted rather than pan-sautéed for better texture.
