🍲 How To Make Pioneer Woman Bowtie Chicken Alfredo

1. Cook pasta according to the instructions on the package. Drain and put aside.
2. Evenly season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Toss in the chicken breasts and cook them until rich golden brown color all over and are cooked through. Take it out of the skillet, cut it into thin strips, and put it aside.
4. Add 2 more tablespoons of butter to the skillet, and then add the minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute, or until garlic is soft but not burned.
5. Simmer the wine (or broth) for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until it begins to boil and decrease. Whisk in the half-and-half, cream, and additional salt and pepper until well mixed.
6. Let the liquid heat up and thicken for a few minutes. Add a splash of chicken broth to thin it down if it thickens too much.
7. Take the sauce off the heat when it reaches the desired look. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese into the pan and immediately place the hot pasta on top. Gently toss it.
8. Add the chicken and continue stirring until it is fully combined. Stir in a splash of broth (or put the pan back on low heat) if it becomes too gloopy.
9. Adjust the seasonings according to your taste, then garnish with minced parsley and additional Parmesan. Serve right away!

💭Recipe Tips

• Cook Chicken Evenly: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking, ensuring they are tender and juicy.
• Avoid Burning Garlic: Add garlic to the skillet after the butter has melted and watch closely to prevent it from burning, which can make the dish bitter.
• Balance Sauce Consistency: If the sauce becomes too thick, add small amounts of chicken broth to reach the desired consistency without compromising the flavor.
• Use Fresh Parmesan: For the best flavor and texture, grate Parmesan cheese fresh from a block rather than using pre-grated cheese.
