Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces bowtie pasta
- 2 chicken breasts, diced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- ½ cup cowboy butter (or regular butter)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
- In a large pot, boil salted water. Add the bowtie pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
