Okay, I need to help the user write an SEO-optimized description for their lemon tarragon chicken pasta recipe that's under 150 characters. First, I should understand the key elements they want to highlight: chicken, pasta with tarragon, lemon, probably a light and flavorful dish.

I'll start by identifying relevant keywords like "lemon tarragon," "chicken pasta," "light and flavorful." Then, think about what potential customers are looking for—maybe they're searching for quick dinners or recipes that are easy to make. Including emojis could help with SEO since they can attract attention and improve click-through rates.

I should structure the description to include all these elements concisely. Maybe start with an enticing phrase like "Savor the perfect blend..." then mention the key components: chicken, pasta, lemon, tarragon. Add that it's light and flavorful, and end with a call-to-action or a positive statement about being easy to make.

Putting it all together, ensuring it flows well within 150 characters.

Ingredients

• <think>
• Alright, I need to figure out the ingredients for a lemon tarragon chicken pasta recipe using bullet points with SEO-friendly formatting. Okay, so first, I should think about what each component is.
• I know the base is pasta, probably penne or fusilli since they're common in such dishes. Then there's chicken, preferably breasts for tenderness. Lemon is essential because the name includes it. Tarragon adds that herby flavor. Some garlic and butter will help with the sauce.
• Broth is needed to cook the chicken so it doesn't dry out. Fresh basil could be optional but nice for freshness. Olive oil or another neutral oil might be used for cooking, maybe during sautéing. Salt and pepper are basics for seasoning. Maybe add some lemon zest for extra flavor.
• Now, considering SEO, I should include keywords like "lemon tarragon chicken pasta ingredients," "tarragon chicken recipe," and perhaps others related to the dish. I'll make sure each bullet includes these keywords naturally.
• I need to organize them clearly with numbers and concise points. Let me list them out in my mind first: pasta, chicken breasts, lemon juice, garlic, butter, tarragon, broth, fresh basil (optional), olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon zest.
• Wait, maybe I should specify the quantities where possible. For example, 2 cups of pasta and 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Also, clarify if it's fresh or frozen pasta since that can be a point for users.
• Oh, and perhaps mention cooking steps briefly at the end, but in this case, it's ingredients only. So I should stick to just listing them without any procedures unless specified.
• I think that's all. Let me make sure each ingredient is correctly paired with its keyword and that the formatting is clean for SEO.
