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)

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

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flavor.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Return the sliced chicken to the skillet, along with the cooked bow tie pasta. Toss everything together until well coated in the creamy sauce.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your Creamy Chicken with Bow Tie Pasta!
