Instructions

  1. Cook bowtie pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the butter until melted, then add the heavy cream and chicken broth. Mix well.
  5. Add Italian seasoning and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  6. Toss the cooked bowtie pasta into the sauce and mix until well coated.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  1. Do not overcook the chicken; cook it just until it is no longer pink. Keep the heat moderate when adding cream to prevent splitting.
