Because bowtie pasta (farfalle) holds the creamy sauce well, they are ideal for this hearty dish.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Coarse salt and ground pepper
3/4 pound bowtie pasta
1 pound chicken tenders, white tendons removed, halved lengthwise and again crosswise
2 tablespoons butter
1 pound small white button mushrooms, stems trimmed, halved
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente, according to package instructions. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water; drain pasta, and return to pot.
  • Meanwhile, season chicken generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook, turning once, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add mushrooms to pan; season with salt and pepper. Cover; cook over medium heat until mushrooms release their liquid, about 5 minutes. Uncover; cook, stirring, until liquid has evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes more. Add wine; cook, stirring, until evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low. Add cream and chicken; stir to coat. Transfer to pot with pasta; add parsley and pasta water (if desired). Toss to combine. Season again with salt and pepper; serve immediately.
