Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces bow tie pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cook the bow tie pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides. Add them to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove chicken from the skillet, let rest for a few minutes, and dice into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced red, yellow, and green bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are tender but still slightly crisp.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, and let the sauce simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
Add the cooked pasta and diced chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat everything evenly in the creamy sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
