Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Bow-tie pasta (farfalle)
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the bow-tie pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Pat them dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for 2 minutes, then add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Add the cooked bow-tie pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Gently fold in the sliced chicken.
Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and black pepper, if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
