Bow Tie Lemon Chicken

Submitted by Sweet Diva MJ

"From Light & Tasty. A creamy, healthy and quick one-dish meal. I think I use a little more lemon pepper seasoning when I make it, but have not noted it on the recipe, so adjust according to taste. Alson tastes great with a little white wine added to the sauce - maybe 1/2 cup chicken broth plus 1/2 cup white wine....or is good as-is - whatever you prefer.:)"

My teen daughter loves this recipe. We are eating it as I type this. My son, dislike vegetables. So, we will see how he likes the taste minus the vegtables. I just garlic power versa real garlic and can sweet peas and can carrot slices.

I didn't care for the sauce. It tasted like mayonnaise to me.

A good quick and easy dinner. I didn't have peas & carrots so I used frozen broccoli instead. I also added corn starch to thicken the sauce a bit. Nice tasty dish - will definitely make again!

Praise the Lord, my husband likes a low-fat recipe! This was so tasty! We did use the wine as suggested and used a pretty liberal amount of shaved parmesan (I like the texture). Is it still low-fat if you have seconds?

This was very good, so quick and easy to make on a weeknight. The cream cheese adds just the right amount of creaminess and flavor to the pasta and vegetables.
