Creamy Chicken Garlic Pasta is easy enough to make any night of the week but good enough to serve to guests. This creamy pasta is always a crowd pleaser no matter the size of the crowd. Cream Chicken Garlic Pasta

Bowtie Pasta or Farfalle  is best when used with light cream sauces or cold salads. It is also ideal for pasta recipes that have vegetables because the wide shape is great for catching the sauce and other ingredients.

This recipe calls for prepared chicken. If you don’t have time to prepare the chicken you can pick up a rotisserie chicken at the supermarket. Doing this will be a huge time saver. Any leftover chicken can be frozen or tossed into a salad for lunch.

As I said before this recipe calls for prepared chicken. If you’re not using a rotisserie chicken then I suggest popping two boneless, skinless chicken breasts under your broiler for about 30 minutes. Once the chicken is cooked through shred it and set aside.

Prepare the pasta according to package directions then drain and set it aside. In the same pot melt two tablespoons of butter. Then add in a cup of diced onion and red bell pepper and cook until tender. Add minced garlic to the pot and cook for another minute. If you’re using garlic powder do not add it now wait and add the garlic with the next step.

Once the onion and garlic are cooked add soups, milk, peas, garlic powder (if using), salt and pepper to pot. Stir to combine and bring everything to a boil. Reduce heat and allow it to continue to simmer for about two to three minutes. I always taste it here to make sure the sauce doesn’t need more salt or more garlic.

Finally add chicken and pasta cheddar and parmesan cheese to sauce. Turn heat to low and cover allow to simmer for ten minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Garnish with more parmesan cheese and freshly cracked black pepper if desired.

      Oh my Yum! I made this recipe, but made my own homemade cream of chicken soup (amazing decision) and I also ommited bith the cheeses. My family went crazy for it and trust me, they expect nothing less than amazing from my kitchen!

    Lulu I really wanted to try to make this dish because it reminded me of one that I’ve had a local restaurant. This was similar and it’s defiantly a keeper here at out house. I hope you enjoy it also.
    Thanks Susanne
