Jewel'S Chicken Giardino - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Chicken:
    2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/2-inch strips
    1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    1/2 lemon, juiced
    2 small sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped
    1 clove garlic
    Sauce:
    2 tablespoons butter
    2 teaspoons garlic pepper seasoning
    1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
    1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
    1/2 cup chicken broth
    1/2 cup water
    1/2 cup white wine
    2 tablespoons milk
    2 teaspoons lemon juice
    2 tablespoons cornstarch
    1 teaspoon sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
    Vegetables:
    1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    1 bunch fresh asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
    2 Roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
    1 cup broccoli florets
    1 cup spinach, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
    1 zucchini, cut into rounds
    1 pound yellow squash, cut into rounds
    1/2 red bell pepper, cut into strips
    1/2 cup frozen peas
    1/2 cup matchstick-cut carrots
    1 (16 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta
Preparation
    Combine chicken, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 juiced lemon, chopped fresh rosemary, and garlic in a bowl; marinate chicken in refrigerator, at least 30 minutes.
    Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir garlic pepper, thyme, and dried rosemary into melted butter and cook for 1 minute.
    Whisk chicken broth, water, wine, milk, and 4 teaspoons lemon juice together in a bowl. Add cornstarch and whisk until lumps have dissolved; pour into butter mixture. Whisk sauce and bring to a boil; season with salt and pepper and remove saucepan from heat.
    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add 1/4 cup olive oil. Remove chicken from marinade, discarding the marinade. Cook and stir chicken in the hot olive oil until no longer pink in the center, about 8 minutes. Add asparagus, tomatoes, broccoli, spinach, zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, peas, and carrots to chicken; cook and stir until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain.
    Mix pasta and sauce in with chicken and vegetables; stir until evenly combined.
