Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 12 oz bowtie (farfalle) pasta
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
  2. Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden, about 6-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine, and bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Stir in mozzarella and Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet, add the cooked pasta, and toss everything together.
  8. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

Cut the chicken into uniform pieces for even cooking. Use freshly grated Parmesan for best results.
