I invented this dish many years ago by heavily modifying a Fettuccine Alfredo recipe I have.
Bowtie Pasta with Feta and Lemon Pepper Chicken
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 - 2 lbs. boneless chicken breasts or tenders
- 1 lb. bowtie pasta
- broccoli cauliflower and carrots (I like to use those steam in the bag fresh kind)
- feta cheese 6-8oz crumbled
- lemon pepper
- 3-4 Tbs butter
- 1 1/2 – 2 cups half and half warmed for a minute or two in the microwave
Instructions
- Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with lemon pepper and grill it.
- While the chicken is grilling start the pasta cooking.
- Steam the vegetables in the microwave, or add to the pasta during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Drain pasta.
- Combine pasta and veggies.
- Add the butter and warmed half & half to the pasta. Stir in the feta.
- Slice finished chicken in thin strips. Serve on top of pasta.
- Serve with additional lemon pepper, if desired.

I just popped over from SITS & when I first read the name of this post I thought it said BROWNIE pasta! It really got my attention, LOL.

I found your blog looking for pineapple cookie recipes. I remember so much about my Nanny, and this seems very close to the kind of cookies that I remember her making! Thanks for sharing, and I love how you show the ingredients-that helps so much. My family likes bow tie pasta so I will have to try this! I used bow tie pasta with tuna several years ago from a great recipe. I can’t find the recipe now…any suggestions?
Rachel says
I have a bowtie pasta salad recipe with tuna in it. It also has artichoke, capers, green onion and some other ingredients. Do you remember any of the other ingredients in your recipe?

Tiffany says
I hope you like it! It’s one of our favorites!
Molly says
My kids don’t like feta…is there another cheese I could use?
Tiffany says
Try Parmesan instead.
