How to Make Chicken Bow Tie Pasta
- Cook 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts in 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until lightly browned and no longer pink in the center (about 6-8 minutes per side).
- Remove chicken from skillet and let cool slightly. Chop chicken into 1/2-inch pieces and set aside.
- Melt 4 tbsp margarine in the same skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half) to the skillet.
- Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, for about 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce starts to thicken slightly. Reduce heat as needed to prevent scorching.
- While the sauce simmers, cook 1 lb bow tie pasta according to package directions.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion and 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon to the sauce. Cook for 5-6 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the cooked pasta and chopped chicken to the skillet. Toss gently to combine and coat everything in the creamy sauce.
- Heat through for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the chicken is warmed through.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately, sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese (about 1/4 cup), if desired.
