I almost feel guilt making a recipe using purchased Alfredo sauce, since the real thing is so easy to make, but this is a lot healthier.

Steps:
- Rub chicken breasts with lemon oil, if using.
- Sprinkle both sides with lemon zest, pepper, and granulated garlic, and set aside for 15-minutes for flavor to develop.
- Start to heat salted water to cook the pasta, but don't cook it until you start to make the sauce.
- Spray a large, nonstick skillet with nonstick spray, add olive oil, and place over medium heat.
- When hot, add chicken, and cook until done, but still springy to the touch, and lightly browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
- Remove chicken from skillet and keep warm.
- If using fresh mushrooms, add to pan, increase heat to high, and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Remove mushrooms from pan using a slotted spatula, leaving juice behind.
- If not using fresh mushrooms, drain all excess oil from pan, leaving browned bits in pan.
- Reduce heat to medium if necessary.
- Add pasta to boiling water.
- Add lemon juice to skillet, and deglaze the pan, scraping up all browned bits from cooking chicken.
- Add mustard and Alfredo sauce, and stir until combined.
- Simmer until heated through.
- Stir in chicken and mushrooms, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low until pasta is done.
- Serve sauce over pasta and chicken.
- Sprinkle with parsley if desired.
- Serves 4.
- Note!!!! Ingredient should be LEMON OIL, not extract. Recipezaar recipe software changed it to extract and will not let me make the correction. Sorry about that!
