Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Bow tie pasta (farfalle)
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 oz Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Dried Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
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.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into thin strips.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flavor.
Gradually add the chicken broth to the skillet, whisking constantly to combine. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, continuing to whisk until the sauce thickens.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning to the sauce. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet, along with the cooked bow tie pasta. Toss everything together until well coated in the creamy sauce.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your Creamy Chicken with Bow Tie Pasta!
