Here are some tips for making lemon chicken pasta:

• Use a light-bodied dry white wine for the best results. The wine will add flavor to the sauce without overpowering it.
• If you don't have dry white wine, you can use chicken broth or water.
• Don't overcook the chicken. The chicken should be cooked through but still moist.
• If you don't have Parmesan cheese, you can use another type of grated cheese, such as Asiago, Romano, or Gruyère.
• Serve lemon chicken pasta with your favorite sides, such as a green salad, crusty bread, or roasted vegetables.
