How to Make Bacony Blue Cheese Chicken Pasta

2. While pasta cooks, melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional) and cook until fragrant.
3. Add 2 large onions, thinly sliced, to the saucepan. Cook, stirring every 5 minutes, for 25 minutes, or until caramelized.
4. Season 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound total) with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Broil chicken for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until cooked through. Alternatively, grill or pan-fry until cooked through.

7. Sprinkle 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese evenly over the pasta. Let it melt slightly from the heat of the pasta.
8. Slice the cooked chicken into strips and add to the pasta.
9. Add 4 ounces cooked bacon, chopped, and 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped, to the pasta mixture.
