Ingredients

– 1 pound bowtie pasta
– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 cups broccoli florets
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter
– 1 tablespoon minced garlic
– 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create your Cowboy Butter Lemon Bowtie Chicken with Broccoli:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, add bowtie pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken: While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
3. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
4. Sauté the Broccoli: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender but still bright green.
5. Make the Cowboy Butter Sauce: Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and dried parsley to the skillet. Mix well and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
6. Combine Ingredients: Slice the cooked chicken and add it back into the skillet along with the drained pasta. Toss everything together until evenly coated in the sauce.
7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
8. Serve: Plate the Cowboy Butter Lemon Bowtie Chicken with Broccoli, garnishing with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
