Cowboy Butter Lemon Bowtie Chicken with Broccoli

  • Author: Chef Mia

Description

A delightful dish featuring savory chicken, bright lemon, and tender broccoli mixed with creamy bowtie pasta, perfect for weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 12 oz bowtie (farfalle) pasta
  • 2 cups broccoli florets

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add bowtie pasta and cook until al dente.
  2. In the last 3 minutes, add broccoli florets. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain and set aside.
  3. In a bowl, season chicken pieces with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  6. Stir in red pepper flakes, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and zest. Mix in parsley and chives, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  7. Add pasta, broccoli, and chicken back to the skillet. Toss to coat in the sauce, adding reserved pasta water as needed.
  8. Stir in Parmesan cheese until creamy and well combined.
  9. Serve warm with extra Parmesan, fresh parsley, and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Notes

For a creamier sauce, add more butter and Parmesan cheese. Use gluten-free pasta for a healthier option. Toss quickly to prevent sticking.

Key Lime Pie

  • Author: Chef Mia

Description

This homemade Key Lime Pie is a classic dessert I make all year long. I love preparing it from scratch with plenty of fresh lime juice and zest, giving it that amazing citrus flavor my family loves. The texture is super creamy, and the balance of tangy and sweet makes it so irresistible. The great thing is it’s ready in just one hour, chill time included.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup ground walnuts (pecans, almonds or macadamia nuts work as well, if you are allergic, just use extra 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs)
  • 3 tablespoons white granulated sugar
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Instructions

  1. Using a fork, stir together the crust ingredients in a medium bowl until fully combined and the graham cracker crumbs are moist.
  2. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan. Using your hands or a measuring cup, press and pat down the bottom and sides.
  3. Chill for 20-30 minutes. I prefer to put it in the freezer for 20 minutes.
  4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  5. Combine condensed milk, sour cream, and egg yolks in a medium bowl. Whisk together on medium speed until thoroughly combined.
  6. Add (key) lime juice and (key) lime zest. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared crust.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes in the preheated oven. Do NOT brown the pie; only the crust should start turning a nice golden-brown color.
  9. Remove from the oven and cool on a cooling rack. When cool, transfer it to the fridge. Chill the pie thoroughly in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours before serving.
  10. Serve cold, and do not keep at room temperature for more than one hour.
  11. In a large bowl, beat heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  12. Add the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe it on top of the pie, or use a spatula to spread it onto the pie.
  13. Garnish with (key) lime slices, (key) lime zest, and whipped cream if desired.

Notes

If theres one thing I always tell people when they ask how to make the best Key Lime Pie, its this: use fresh lime juice and zest. Ive tried bottled juice in the past, but I promise you, it never gives the same citrusy flavor. Freshly squeezed juice and zest bring the whole pie to life and remind me of the classic pie my mom used to make.
