How to Make Broccoli And Lemon Pepper Chicken Alfredo With Bow Tie Pasta

  1. Boil 1 pound of bow tie pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes per side).
  3. Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning to the skillet with the chicken. Stir to coat and cook for another minute.
  4. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. Slice into bite-sized pieces.
  5. In the same skillet, add 1 cup of broccoli florets and 1/4 cup water. Cover and steam for 5 minutes, or until broccoli is tender-crisp.
  6. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until smooth.
  7. Gradually whisk in 2 cups milk until smooth and thickened. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
  8. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  9. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard.
  10. Add the cooked pasta, broccoli, and chicken to the cheese sauce. Toss to combine thoroughly.
  11. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for later enjoyment. Leftovers are even better the next day!
