Lemon Garlic Chicken with Creamy Bowtie Pasta

Directions:

  1. Season the chicken
    Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

  2. Sear the chicken
    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. Sauté the garlic
    In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

  4. Build the sauce
    Add the heavy cream, chicken broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Cook for 3–4 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.

  5. Cook the pasta
    While the sauce simmers, cook the bowtie pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  6. Slice the chicken
    Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips.

  7. Toss pasta in sauce
    Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the creamy sauce and toss to coat.

  8. Finish with Parmesan
    Stir in the Parmesan cheese and mix until the sauce is creamy and smooth.

  9. Serve
    Serve the creamy pasta topped with sliced chicken, and garnish with fresh parsley.
