Method: Heat oil in large, deep skillet on medium-high. Season chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook until golden brown on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes; transfer to large bowl. Add lemon juice to pan, scraping up brown bits, then pour over chicken in bowl. Add broth and pasta to skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, 10 minutes. Return chicken (and any juices) to skillet and continue to cook until pasta is just tender, about 3 minutes. Add cream cheese, stirring to melt, then fold in peas, lemon zest, Parmesan and tarragon.
