Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced
  • 8 oz bowtie pasta
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the bowtie pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  6. Add the heavy cream and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
