  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 3 servings

Ingredients

Pasta

  • 250 g bowtie pasta

Chicken and Sauce

  • 2 chicken breasts, sliced
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook Pasta: Cook the bowtie pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside while you prepare the chicken and sauce.
  2. Season Chicken: Season the sliced chicken breasts with salt and pepper evenly on both sides to enhance flavor.
  3. Cook Chicken: In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken slices and cook until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the pan with the chicken and sauté briefly for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  5. Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer gently for 3-4 minutes to develop the sauce and combine flavors.
  6. Toss Pasta and Cheese: Add the cooked bowtie pasta, grated Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning into the pan. Toss everything together to coat the pasta and chicken evenly with the garlic butter sauce.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm for a comforting and flavorful meal.

Notes

  • Add cream to the sauce for a richer, creamier texture.
  • Include vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for added nutrition and flavor.
  • Use rotisserie chicken as a shortcut to save cooking time.
