Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz bow tie pasta
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.25 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook bow tie pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and add the cooked pasta. Toss everything together until well coated with sauce.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or milk. You can also add steamed vegetables for extra nutrition.
