Lemon Garlic Chicken with Creamy Bowtie Pasta

 Lemon Garlic Chicken with Creamy Bowtie Pasta 🍝

Ingredients:

2 large chicken breasts, sliced thin

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 lemon, juiced and zested

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

8 oz bowtie pasta, cooked and drained

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions:

Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Make the sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium, melt the butter, and add minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Add lemon: Stir in the lemon juice and zest, followed by the chicken broth. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.

Creamy touch: Lower the heat and stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Let it simmer gently until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Combine: Add the cooked bowtie pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Slice the chicken and place it on top.

Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
