A weeknight lifesaver, this dish features tender chicken and al dente bowtie pasta simmered in a creamy garlic sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 3 cups uncooked bowtie pasta (farfalle)
  • 1 cup whole milk or half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Season the chicken pieces with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Add the seasoned chicken to the pan and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until golden.
  4. Remove the cooked chicken and set aside, keeping any browned bits in the pan.
  5. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil, scraping the bottom of the pan.
  7. Stir in the bowtie pasta, cover, and let simmer for 12 to 15 minutes.
  8. Stir in the whole milk (and heavy cream if using), and return the chicken to the pan.
  9. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until warmed through and sauce thickens.
  10. Add mozzarella and Parmesan, stirring until melted and creamy.

Notes

For best results, cut chicken into uniform pieces and stir occasionally while simmering to prevent sticking.
