  3. Add the onion, garlic & half the lemon zest to the pan and gently fry over a low heat until very soft and translucent.
  4. Add the cream, parmesan & pasta water and bring to a simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly until smooth and thickened. Stir through the lemon juice, taste and season with salt & pepper.
  5. Add the fettuccine and chicken to the pan with the cream sauce and toss until coated.
  6. Before serving, sprinkle over extra parmesan, remaining lemon zest, chives and lots of cracked black pepper. Serve immediately.
