Instructions

Cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir and simmer for 2–3 minutes.
Add the cooked shredded chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.
Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet and toss everything together until well combined.
Transfer to serving plates or a large bowl. Tear the burrata into pieces and place on top of the hot pasta.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and Parmesan if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker prep.
Burrata should be added just before serving for maximum creaminess.
Can substitute spaghetti with linguine or fettuccine.
