Ingredients

• 12 ounces bow tie pasta
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pieces chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium yellow bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cook the bow tie pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides. Add them to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove chicken from the skillet, let rest for a few minutes, and dice into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the diced red, yellow, and green bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, and let the sauce simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.

Step 7

Add the cooked pasta and diced chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat everything evenly in the creamy sauce.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
