Description

Creamy Marry Me Chicken Bowtie Pasta is a rich, indulgent dish loaded with tender chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, and a velvety garlic cream sauce—all tossed together for a perfect comfort meal.

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced
12 oz bowtie (farfalle) pasta
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped, oil-packed, drained
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
2 tbsp olive oil or butter
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, optional
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh basil or parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Step: Cook bowtie pasta in salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step: Season thinly sliced chicken with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning, ensuring even coverage for flavor.
Step: Heat olive oil or butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Step: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and the garlic is slightly golden.
Step: Pour in chicken broth, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the pan. This adds depth to your sauce.
Step: Add heavy cream to the skillet and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
Step: Return the cooked chicken to the pan, then add the drained pasta. Toss everything together in the sauce until evenly coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Step: Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and additional Parmesan cheese. Serve Creamy Marry Me Chicken Bowtie Pasta warm.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or up to 2 months in the freezer. Reheat on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of broth or cream to maintain consistency.
