Bowtie Chicken Alfredo
- 12 ounces, weight Bowtie Pasta (farfalle)
- 4 Tablespoons Butter
- 2 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 3/4 cups Dry White Wine (may Substitute Low-sodium Chicken Broth)
- 1/2 cups Half-and-half
- 3 Tablespoons Heavy Cream
- Low Sodium Chicken Broth, As Needed For Thinning
- 3/4 cups Parmesan Shavings Or Grated Parmesan
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley, Minced
- Cook pasta according to package directions.
- Drain and set aside.
- Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken breasts and cook until deep golden brown on both sides and done in the middle.
- Remove from the skillet, slice into thin strips, and set aside.
- Add additional 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet, followed by the minced garlic.
- Stir the garlic around the pan to avoid burning, and cook for 1 minute.
- Pour in wine (or broth), then let it bubble up and reduce for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
- Add half-and-half, cream, and extra salt and pepper, whisking constantly until its all combined.
- Allow liquid to heat up and thicken for a few minutes.
- If it gets too thick, you may thin it with a little chicken broth.
- When the sauce looks good, remove it from the heat.
- Add Parmesan to the pan, then throw the hot pasta right on top of it.
- Toss it a bit.
- Add the chicken and continue tossing until its all combined.
- Again, if it gets too gloopy, splash in a little broth (you may return the pan to low heat if it needs it.)
- Taste it, adjust seasonings, and top with minced parsley and extra Parmesan.
- Serve immediately!
