A rich and creamy bowtie pasta dish with tender chicken that is quick, easy, and perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 12 oz bowtie (farfalle) pasta
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped, oil-packed, drained
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, optional
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the bowtie pasta in salted boiling water until it’s al dente, roughly 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Season the chicken slices with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Heat olive oil or butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken and sear for about 5-7 minutes until it’s golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the same skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Add the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing the sauce to thicken and become smooth—about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and then add the drained pasta. Toss everything gently until well coated and warmed through, approximately 2-3 minutes.
  8. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave adding a splash of chicken broth or cream if too thick.
