Lemon-Chicken Bow Tie Pasta image

I found this recipe in the BJs Wholesale Club magazine, and tweaked it slightly. They tout that it's $1.91 per serving if you buy the ingredients there. There are lots of veggies you could add that would be delicious - snap peas, asparagus, mushrooms, artichokes, etc. This can also be frozen easily for an OAMC. Anyway, it's quite delicious - enjoy!!

8 ounces bow tie pasta
3 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons canola oil
6 green onions, sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 cup nonfat milk
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup lemon juice
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Cook pasta, drain and set aside.
  • Cut chicken into 3/4" pieces, set aside.
  • Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add green onions and garlic, saute 3 minutes.
  • Add chicken, salt and pepper. Saute for 9-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add pasta, set aside.
  • Melt butter in saucepan, add flour and cayenne pepper. Add broth and milk all at once. Stir over medium heat until thick and bubbly.
