Farfalle With Chicken, Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Artichokes image

A rich and creamy blend of bow-tie pasta, seasoned chicken, tangy sundried tomatoes and artichoke hearts. I love making this dish for company and I get many requests for the recipe. It's a one pot-dish that uses ingredients that pleases many palates. So pair it with a salad and you're good to go! I sometimes make this dish ahead of time and refridgerate it overnight. it tastes even better when the flavors are given at least a couple hours to develop. So reheat and relax!

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 1 1/2 cup servings, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

3/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
olive oil
3 -5 garlic cloves, smashed
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups sun-dried tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (more if desired)
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 (16 ounce) can artichoke hearts, chopped in half
1/2 lemon
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup sliced mushrooms
3/4-1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup fresh Italian parsley, chopped
1/2 cup basil, chopped (for garnish) (optional)
1 lb farfalle pasta, cooked al dente (bow tie, or whatever kind you prefer)

Steps:

  • Season the cut-up chicken pieces with the salt and pepper.
  • Heat 4 tbsp of olive oil on low, in a saute pan (big enough to accommodate the entire finished product of chicken and pasta) and throw in the smashed garlic cloves, leave for 3-4 minutes (this flavors the oil).
  • Raise the heat to med-high and add the chicken to the pan (at this point you may remove/discard the garlic, but I like to leave it in). Leave the meat to sear on one side 3-4 min and flip chicken pieces over, allow to cook for 3 min more. If the pan is too crowded move cooked chicken to a plate. Leave chicken to one side until ready to add in final stages.
  • Add 2 tbsp olive oil to the pan and heat to medium heat. Add onions and saute until translucent, about 3-4 minute Add the sundried tomatoes and saute, careful not to burn for 2-3 minute.
  • Return chicken to pan with drippings. Bring chicken to temp for about 5 minute and add seasoning mixture, stir to coat.
  • Add the artichoke hearts and fold to combine. Be careful not to break up hearts.
  • Squeeze lemon juice over chicken and add white wine. Simmer for 3 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms, gently stir and let soften, about 3 minutes more.
  • Add the chicken broth and carefully stir the mixture.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the chicken and toss carefully.
  • Add the heavy cream and simmer on low for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese, parsley and basil. Serve with extra Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

BROCCOLI & CHICKEN FARFALLE



Broccoli & Chicken Farfalle image

Broccoli florets and seasoned chicken breast tossed in a creamy cheese sauce with farfalle (bow-tie pasta). I generally don't measure when I cook so all measurements are approximate. Feel free to add less of more of anything to suite your taste.

Provided by AshleyTruckley

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
2 1/2 cups broccoli florets
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken broth (or 1 cup water with 2 tsp liquid chicken boullion)
1/2 cup cream
1 cup old cheddar cheese, grated
3 -4 cups farfalle pasta

Steps:

  • For the chicken, cook however you want. Grilled, baked, fried, poached. I prefer to seanson with 1 tsp of italian seasoning and grill, but this you can do to your personal preference.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Salt boiling water and cook pasta until done.
  • Meanwhile, steam broccoli florets. I do this in the microwave just to cut down on time. Place broccoli in a bowl with about an inch of water. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Make a slit in the plastic for steam to escape. Microwave for 1 1/2 minutes or until desired tenderness is reached.
  • Melt butter in a small pot on Medium-low heat. Add flour and garlic powder and whisk to form a roux. Cook for a few minutes. Add wine and whisk until it is evaporated. Add in chicken stock and then the cream, whisking the whole time.
  • **You need to work quick once you add the wine. If your pot is too hot when you add the wine it can turn your roux into a dough which won't mix into your liquids well.
  • Allow mixture to cook until it begins to thicken. Whisking often to ensure it does not burn. Once thickened add in cheese.
  • **whisk in a zig zag motion to ensure that the grated cheese doesn't turn into a ball in the sauce.
  • Toss pasta with broccoli and chicken and serve.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large chicken breast, bone in, skin on
extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt
1 lb bow tie pasta (farfalle)
1 pkg center cut bacon, thinly sliced

1 c heavy cream
1 head roasted garlic, minced
1/2 c grated parmesan cheese
3/4 c frozen green peas (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • 2. Prepare the chicken by placing the chicken breast on a sheet pan and rub with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and ½ teaspoon of fresh ground black pepper. Roast the breast for 30 to 40 minutes, or until just cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Reserve the chicken drippings for the sauce and remove the chicken from the bone and remove the skin and then shred and set aside.
  • 3. While the chicken is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a very large sauté pan. Add the thinly sliced bacon and render until it is crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the pieces of crisp bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain excess grease and set aside.
  • 4. In the same pan with the rendered bacon fat add the mushrooms and sauté on medium high heat until most of the liquid has evaporated and then the chopped onions and sauté the onions over medium heat until they are caramelized along with the sliced mushrooms. Now add the sliced sundried tomatoes and sauté for another 3 minutes. Deglaze the pan by adding the white wine and bring to a simmer and cook until it has reduced by half. Use a wooden spoon the scrape the bottom of the pan to release the brown bits into the wine.
  • 5. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil; season the boiling water with 2 tablespoons of kosher salt. Cook the farfalle pasta to the package specifications for al dente. Drain the cooked pasta but reserve ½ cup of the pasta water.
  • 6. Now add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add the roasted garlic paste to the cream sauce along with the reserved pan drippings from the roasted chicken and whisk to incorporate well. Add the shredded cooked chicken to the sauce and simmer the sauce for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • 7. Next add ½ cup of fresh fine grated parmesan cheese to the sauce and stir constantly to incorporate well. Use pasta water to thin the sauce if it gets too thick, but only if necessary. Add kosher salt and pepper to taste and then add the drained pasta to the sauce along with peas. Stir to incorporate and to warm the peas through. Add 3/4 of the crisp bacon and toss again to incorporate and transfer to a large serving platter. Garnish with the remaining crisp bacon pieces and serve!

Grilled Chicken Marsala and Farfalle image

I had planned on making a regular chicken marsala for dinner but we got 65 degree weather for the first time this spring so I had to open the grill and thought hmmmm...why not make the sauce as I would with a regular marsala and then add the grilled chicken! It was FANTASTIC! This turned out to be more of a deconstructed...

FARFALLE W/ CHICKEN, SUN-DREID TOMATOES & SPINACH



FARFALLE W/ CHICKEN, SUN-DREID TOMATOES & SPINACH image

Categories     Chicken     Pasta     Sauté     Quick & Easy

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 inch cubes
2 tblsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt
Fresh Ground Pepper
1 tblsp garlic, minced
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 cups heavy whipping cream
4 tblsp no salt butter
4 oz sun-dried tomatoes, hydrated and julienned
4 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed
12 oz dried farfalle pasta
1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Steps:

  • Prepare pasta according to the directions on the box. Drain and reserve 1 cup pasta water. In a 12 inch skillet, heat oil under medium heat. Season chicken well with salt and pepper. Add chicken slowly to the skillet. Saute chicken for about 5 minutes or until no longer pink. Remove chicken from skillet, set aside and tent with foil to keep warm. Place uncleaned skillet back under medium heat. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds or until garlic is aromatic. Remove skillet from heat and deglaze the skillet by slowly adding the wine. Place skillet back on heat until wine reduces completely. Add chicken broth. Using a whisk, scrap up brown bits at the bottom of the skillet. Once the broth reduces by half, add the whipping cream, 2 tablespoons of butter and about 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Reduce heat to low and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. (If sauce begins to boil over, just remove the skillet from the heat) Add chicken back to the skillet and stir. Add cooked pasta to the skillet and combine with the sauce and chicken. Increase the heat to medium. If the sauce gets too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water. Stir in the thawed spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and toss with the remaining Parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Organic chicken, fresh vegetables, and flavorful cheese will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly. Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure that it is safe to eat.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. Farfalle should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Add the sauce to the pasta immediately after it is cooked. This will help the sauce to adhere to the pasta and create a more flavorful dish.
  • Garnish the dish with fresh herbs or grated Parmesan cheese before serving. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Chicken farfalle is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a restaurant-quality meal that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give chicken farfalle a try. You won't be disappointed!
