Ingredients
- 300 grams farfalle (bow-tie) pasta
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 200 grams button mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 200 milliliters heavy cream
- 150 milliliters chicken broth
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0 to taste salt
- 0 to taste black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the farfalle according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set the pasta aside.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
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 until fully cooked and golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a plate, let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice it into strips or cubes.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Once melted, add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Step 5
Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.
Step 6
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and lift any browned bits. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 8
Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and combined. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper to taste.
Step 9
Add the cooked farfalle and sliced chicken to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat the pasta and chicken evenly with the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve the Farfalle with Chicken and Mushrooms hot. Optionally, sprinkle additional Parmesan on top.
