A quick and delicious weeknight meal featuring tender chicken in a creamy garlic parmesan sauce tossed with bowtie pasta. This dish is ready in 30 minutes, making it perfect for busy evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz bowtie pasta
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the bowtie pasta in well-salted boiling water until al dente, about 9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Gradually whisk in parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Stir in mozzarella cheese until fully melted.
  6. Add the drained pasta and sliced chicken to the skillet with the sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta and chicken are well coated.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • Substitute half-and-half for heavy cream for a lighter sauce.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
