Bow-Ties with Chicken and Asparagus Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by lianbl88

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups uncooked bow-tie (farfalle) pasta (8 oz)
1 lb fresh asparagus spears
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 package (8 oz) sliced fresh mushrooms (3 cups)
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
You can use 1 jar of alfredo sauce instead of chicken broth and cornstarch
4 medium green onions, sliced (1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese (1 oz)

Steps:

  • • Cook and drain pasta as directed on package, omitting salt. • Break off tough ends of asparagus as far down as stalks snap easily. Wash asparagus; cut into 1-inch pieces. • In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in asparagus, mushrooms and garlic. Cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in center and vegetables are tender. • In small bowl, gradually stir broth into cornstarch. Stir in onions and basil. Stir cornstarch mixture into chicken mixture. Cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss with pasta. Sprinkle with cheese and serve with some crusty French bread or garlic toast

This was a quick and easy weeknight meal. The only thing I would change is to use a different type of pasta. I found that the bow ties didn't hold the sauce very well.

I'm not a big fan of mushrooms, so I left them out. The dish was still very good though.

Great recipe! I added a little bit of lemon pepper to the chicken before cooking it, and it turned out amazing. The sauce was also very tasty.

This recipe was delicious and easy to follow. I was a little worried about the red pepper, but it actually added a lot of flavor to the dish. I would definitely make this again.

This dish was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, the bow ties were cooked perfectly, and the flavor from the red pepper and mushrooms were the perfect compliment. I feel like a pro chef after making this great dish.
