Part 5/7:
As the pasta mixture is removed from heat, half a cup of ricotta is folded in, imbuing the dish with creaminess and balancing the acidity of the lemon. Canel places the browned chicken breast on top, garnishes with whole cherry tomatoes, sprigs of rosemary, and lemon slices, then covers the pot to maintain moisture.
The dish is placed in the oven for about 30 minutes, allowing all the incredible flavors to meld together while the chicken cooks through. Reflecting on the transformation, Canel shares the excitement of pulling the dish from the oven, revealing a steaming, fragrant meal ready to be enjoyed.
