Ingredients
- 1 lb. mini bowtie pasta
- 2 chicken breasts cut into chunks
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 2 Tbsp Kinder's cowboy butter seasoning
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¾ cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Season the chicken with 1 Tbsp of the seasoning mix. Cook the chicken in the skillet until browned and fully cooked. This should take about 6-8 minutes
- In the meantime, cook the pasta in a pot of boiling water according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and then drain the pasta.
- When the chicken is fully cooked, remove it and place it on a platter. Add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the remaining 1 Tbsp of cowboy butter seasoning along with the heavy cream. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
- Add in the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted. Add in some of the pasta water to thin the sauce to the desired consistency.
- Mix in the cooked pasta and chicken. Stir together until well coated with the sauce and serve. Serves 6.
