Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken Bowtie Pasta with Creamy Parmesan Sauce
Ingredients:
12 oz bowtie pasta (farfalle)
1½ lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thick bite size pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
5 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
Salt and cracked black pepper, to taste
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Zest of 1 large lemon
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
5 garlic cloves, finely minced
For the Creamy Lemon Parmesan Sauce:
2 tbsp all purpose flour
¾ cup chicken broth
1¾ cups heavy cream
¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or basil
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bowtie pasta and cook until tender with a slight bite according to the package directions. Reserve about ½ cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.
2. Heat the olive oil together with 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
3. Cook the chicken for about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the outside turns golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
4. Reduce the heat to medium and add 2 more tablespoons of butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and lemon zest. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Pour in the lemon juice and return the chicken to the skillet. Toss gently so the chicken becomes coated in the lemon garlic butter. Transfer the chicken back to a plate and set aside.
6. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and stir continuously for about 1 minute so it blends smoothly with the butter.
7. Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to release any flavorful bits. Allow the sauce to cook for a minute as it begins to thicken.
8. Add the heavy cream and stir until the mixture becomes smooth and starts to gently simmer.
9. Reduce the heat and add the Parmesan cheese, followed by the mozzarella. Stir until both cheeses melt completely and the sauce becomes thick and creamy.
10. Add the cooked bowtie pasta to the skillet and toss until every piece is coated in the creamy lemon
