Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Garlic Cream Chicken Pasta.
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once the water is bubbling, toss in the farfalle pasta and give it a gentle stir.
Step 3
Let it cook for about 12 minutes, or until it reaches that perfect al dente texture.
Step 4
When it’s ready, drain the pasta and return it to the pot, keeping it warm and cozy while you prepare the rest of the dish.
Step 5
Next, grab a large skillet and heat up some vegetable oil over medium heat.
Step 6
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet, cooking them for about 5 to 8 minutes on each side, or until they’re no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
Step 7
Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and slice it into thin, delicious strips that will blend beautifully with the other flavors.
Step 8
In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
Step 9
Add in the chopped onions and sauté them until they turn a lovely translucent color, which should take about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 10
Then, stir in the drained mushroom pieces along with the sliced chicken, cooking everything together for another 5 minutes until it’s all heated through and fragrant.
Step 11
Once done, remove the skillet from the heat and set it aside.
Step 12
Now, let’s create a creamy garlic sauce that will tie everything together.
Step 13
In another large skillet, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat.
Step 14
Whisk in the flour and let it cook for about a minute until it’s nicely dissolved.
Step 15
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking continuously until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 16
Add in the crushed garlic, a pinch of salt, and some pepper, bringing it to a gentle boil for about a minute before reducing the heat to a simmer.
Step 17
Finally, it’s time to bring all the elements together.
Step 18
Combine the chicken and mushroom mixture with the cooked farfalle pasta in the garlic sauce.
Step 19
Stir gently, allowing everything to mingle and heat through for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 20
The aroma will be irresistible, and soon you’ll have a comforting dish that’s ready to be served.
Step 21
Enjoy every bite of this delightful farfalle pasta with chicken and garlic sauce!.
