A vibrant dish combining buttery garlic flavor with lemon and tender broccoli, perfect for weeknight dinners.

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 minced garlic
  • 1 tsp ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bowtie pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Chicken: Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
  3. Flavor Boost with Butter and Garlic: Push the chicken to one side of the skillet and add the butter. Allow it to melt, then stir in the minced garlic and ranch seasoning. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Bring in the Broccoli and Lemon: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet along with the lemon zest and lemon juice. Toss to coat the broccoli in the buttery goodness, and cook until tender-crisp, about 3–4 minutes.
  5. Combine Everything: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, mixing everything together. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and chives until evenly distributed.
  6. Season and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired. Serve hot.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stove adding a splash of water or broth to prevent drying.
