A comforting dish featuring vibrant flavors, combining zesty lemon with creamy cowboy butter, tender chicken, and fresh broccoli.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz bowtie pasta
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add bowtie pasta, and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add chicken pieces. Season with salt and pepper and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
  3. Push the chicken to one side of the skillet, add butter and let it melt. Then stir in minced garlic and ranch seasoning. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add broccoli florets, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the skillet. Toss to coat and cook until broccoli is tender-crisp, about 3–4 minutes.
  5. Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together. Stir in Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and chives until evenly distributed.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired. Serve hot.

Notes

For a little kick, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes to the cowboy butter sauce. A splash of heavy cream can elevate the richness.
