  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz Bowtie Pasta
  • 1 lb Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth
  • 2 cups Broccoli Florets
  • 2 cups Carrots
  • Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 cup Shredded Havarti Cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • Salt & Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • Fresh Parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss broccoli and carrots with olive oil, salt, and roast until caramelized, about 18–22 minutes.
  2. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and half the Italian seasoning. Sear in a skillet with olive oil until golden, 4–6 minutes per side. Remove and let rest.
  3. Sauté minced garlic in the same skillet until fragrant, then add chicken broth and simmer to deglaze.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and remaining Italian seasoning, then whisk in shredded cheddar and havarti until smooth.
  5. Cook bowtie pasta until al dente, reserving a cup of pasta water. Drain and add to the sauce along with roasted veggies and sliced chicken, folding gently to coat.
  6. Use reserved pasta water to adjust sauce consistency. Top with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For a lighter version, consider using half-and-half or a mix of Greek yogurt and milk. Leftovers reheat well.
