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 in one layer and cook, flipping once halfway, for 6 to 8 minutes until golden and opaque in the center. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining butter and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Add the cooked spaghetti, water, and remaining salt. Use tongs to toss the pasta with the chicken and butter sauce.
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the pasta is heated through and the liquid has reduced to a glossy coating. Stir in the parsley and lemon juice, then plate.
