One of my quick standbys after a busy day at work. By cooking everything at the same time in their separate pots, I can get it on the table in 30 minutes. The chicken broth and lemon give it a lighter and brighter taste that is a welcome change to heavy white sauce. Garnish with your choice of tomatoes, parsley, cooked asparagus or broccoli, or sliced lemon.

Ingredients

½ (16 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 stalks green onions, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 ¼ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
¼ cup salted butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ cups chicken broth
½ cup milk
¼ cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
While the pasta is cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add green onions and garlic; cook for 1 minute. Add chicken and cook, stirring frequently until no longer pink and juices run clear, about 12 minutes; time will vary depending on the size of your chicken pieces.
Drain pasta and mix with chicken in a large serving bowl. Stir and set aside.
Melt butter in a large saucepan. When melted remove from the heat.
Mix flour and pepper together in a small bowl. Stir flour mixture into the melted butter, then add chicken broth and milk. Place over medium heat; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Whisk lemon juice and mustard into the sauce and pour over chicken and pasta; stir to combine.
