Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Bow tie pasta (farfalle)
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bow tie pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir to combine and let it simmer gently for 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and add it back to the skillet along with the cooked pasta. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the sauce.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
