SPICY CHICKEN BOW TIE PASTA IN CREAM SAUCE



Spicy Chicken Bow Tie Pasta in Cream Sauce image

This recipe is one that I came up with one day while trying to make something different. All of the alfredo-type sauces that I've tasted are too thick, heavy and rich and even with all of that....they never have enough flavor. This dish is something you can make after coming home tired from work because it's easy, tastes amazing and you can eyeball the ingredients according to how much less or more you want to make or how thick you want your sauce to be.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 lb bow tie pasta
3 chicken breasts
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt and pepper
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
2 garlic cloves
4 -6 large basil leaves
1/2 cup yellow pickled pepper

Steps:

  • Boil water for pasta and salt water prior to adding pasta.
  • Trim any fat off the chicken and butterfly the breasts. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Bring chicken broth to a boil and add chicken and red pepper flakes on med/high heat until cooked. You'll notice the broth might thicken somewhat. This okay because you'll use this as the base for your sauce.
  • Remove chicken once all pink is gone and chicken is cooked though. Hold with tongs and shread chicken with a fork. Set aside.
  • Lower heat to medium and add in two cloves of garlic and saute for only about 1 minute.
  • Add cream to broth and garlic.
  • Roll up basil leaves and chop into thin ribbons. Add this to cream mixture.
  • Add chicken and cooked pasta into sauce mixture.
  • Add parmesan cheese and stir until well blended.
  • Leave to thicken slightly on medium heat for about 5-10 minutes.
  • Add pepperonchinis.(The yellow picked peppers mentioned above. These are on the pickle isle of your grocery store).
  • The sauce will not be as thick as alfredo sauce gets, but will be even better! Just serve with warm French or Italian bread!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Organic or free-range chicken, fresh vegetables, and high-quality pasta will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still tender and juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your pasta dish. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different pasta shapes. Bow tie pasta is a classic choice, but you can also use penne, rotini, or any other short pasta shape.
  • Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs or grated Parmesan cheese to the dish before serving for an extra boost of flavor.
