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 chicken broth (low sodium)
  • 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

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet or deep pan over medium heat.
  2. Season the chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Add to the hot pan and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until golden and fully cooked.
  3. Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and set aside.
  4. Sauté garlic in the same pan for about a minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil, scraping the bottom of the pan.
  6. Stir in the uncooked bowtie pasta.
  7. Reduce heat, cover, and let the pasta simmer for 12 to 15 minutes until al dente.
  8. Stir in milk (and heavy cream if using), and add the cooked chicken back to the pan. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
  9. Add mozzarella and Parmesan, stirring until melted.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Use bite-sized chicken pieces for fast, even cooking. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 to 4 days.
