Creamy Lemon Garlic Chicken with Parmesan Bowtie Pasta 

Ingredients:

- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 oz bowtie pasta, cooked al dente
- Fresh parsley for garnish

Directions:

Step 1: Sear the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear them for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Sauce
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese. Stir and simmer until the sauce thickens.

Step 3: Combine Chicken and Sauce
Slice the cooked chicken breasts and return them to the skillet. Coat the chicken in the creamy lemon garlic sauce.

Step 4: Mix in Pasta
Add the cooked bowtie pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is well-coated with the creamy sauce.

Step 5: Serve and Garnish
Divide the creamy lemon garlic chicken with Parmesan bowtie pasta among plates. Garnish with fresh parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
