Farfalle With Chicken & Roasted Garlic Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 head of garlic
- 8 ounces of farfalle pasta
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap in aluminum foil. Place it in the oven and roast for about 40 minutes or until the cloves are golden and soft. Once done, allow it to cool.
- While the garlic is roasting, cook the farfalle pasta according to the instructions on the package. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook them in the skillet until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- When the roasted garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the soft cloves into a small bowl and mash them with a fork.
- In the skillet used to cook the chicken, add the cooked farfalle pasta, the mashed roasted garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and heat through over low heat.
- Serve the farfalle pasta topped with sliced chicken breasts. Garnish with some extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
