Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 12 ounces Bow tie pasta (farfalle)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium, and pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more chicken broth.

Step 7

Add the salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning to the sauce. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, and let it simmer in the sauce for 3-4 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 9

Toss the cooked bow tie pasta with the creamy chicken Parmesan sauce until evenly coated.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy your Chicken Bow Tie Parmesan!
