Creating Cowboy Butter Lemon Bowtie Chicken with Broccoli is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the bowtie pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken: While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and half of the lemon zest.
3. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Broccoli: In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Remove and set aside with the chicken.
5. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice, remaining lemon zest, parsley, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using).
6. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken and broccoli to the skillet. Add the drained bowtie pasta and toss everything together until well coated with the sauce.
7. Taste and Adjust: Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
8. Serve: Remove from heat and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley for garnish.
