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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
