Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bowtie pasta, cooking it until al dente, around 10-12 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
- Sauté the Chicken: Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Cajun-seasoned chicken, cooking for 6-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let rest.
- Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce to medium heat and add minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds, then add butter and lemon juice, scraping flavorful bits off the pan. Stir in fresh herbs.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked chicken and steamed broccoli to the skillet. Toss in drained pasta, ensuring everything coats in the sauce. Use reserved pasta water to adjust consistency.
- Serve and Enjoy: Dish out the meal while fresh and steaming. Adjust seasoning as needed and consider pairing with garlic bread or a salad.
