Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F. Open oven bag, add 1 tablespoon flour, pinch with your fingers to seal, and shake to distribute.
Add the pasta, chicken, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon slices, salt, pepper, thyme, water, and seal bag with nylon closure about 3 inches from the top.
Place bag on a baking sheet or in a roasting pan and cut six 1/2-inch slits for steam to escape. Make sure you cut near the top of the bag so you water, oil, etc. doesn't leak.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until pasta is al dente and chicken is cooked through.
Place bag in the sink and using hot mitts and with caution, squeeze out excess liquid through the steam slits.
Gently rip bag open enough to add the parsley, stir to combine, taste, and if desired add more salt or pepper, optional Parmesan cheese, and serve. Dish is best warm and fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 4 months.
