Note

The recipe title mentions "Cake" but the ingredients and directions describe a pasta dish. This has been treated as a pasta skillet meal.

The original directions included a separate recipe for "Lemon Blossom Garlic Sautéed Mushrooms" and a partial recipe for "Lemon Blossom Cheese Cake". These have been excluded as they are distinct recipes not integrated into the main chicken dish instructions.

If the lemon blossom tea flavor is too strong, reduce the amount of tea bag contents by half.

Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before making the sauce to help it melt smoothly without lumps.

You can substitute fresh vegetables for the frozen mixed vegetables if preferred.
