Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with one third of the butter. Season the chicken with half the salt and all of the black pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook, flipping once halfway, for 6 to 8 minutes until golden and cooked through. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Push the chicken to one side of the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining butter to the empty side. Once melted, add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Add the cooked spaghetti, water, and remaining salt to the skillet. Use tongs to pull the strands apart and toss with the chicken and garlic butter. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the pasta is heated through and the liquid reduces to a glossy coating. Stir in the parsley and lemon juice, then plate.
