Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the farfalle pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Stir in the Parmesan cheese and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 9

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix it with the sauce.

Step 10
