Chicken with Farfalle is a delicious and comforting dish that combines tender chicken, creamy sauce, and pasta for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb farfalle pasta
  • Salt (for pasta water)
  • 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Olive oil (for cooking)
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1.5 cups heavy cream
  • Buffalo sauce (optional, for added flavor and heat)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta in a pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.
  2. Sauté the chicken in a large pan with olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from pan.
  3. Make the sauce by adding butter to the same pan. Once melted, add garlic and onion. Sauté until translucent.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and lower the heat to a simmer. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  5. Add the cooked farfalle pasta to the sauce and toss with the chicken. Serve warm.

Notes

For best results, choose chicken breasts that are even in thickness and feel free to swap in your favorite pasta shape.
