Farfalle Bow Tie Pasta With Chicken Sun Dried Tomatoes Food

FARFALLE WITH CHICKEN, SUN-DRIED TOMATOES AND ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Season the cut-up chicken pieces with the salt and pepper.
• Heat 4 tbsp of olive oil on low, in a saute pan (big enough to accommodate the entire finished product of chicken and pasta) and throw in the smashed garlic cloves, leave for 3-4 minutes (this flavors the oil).
• Raise the heat to med-high and add the chicken to the pan (at this point you may remove/discard the garlic, but I like to leave it in). Leave the meat to sear on one side 3-4 min and flip chicken pieces over, allow to cook for 3 min more. If the pan is too crowded move cooked chicken to a plate. Leave chicken to one side until ready to add in final stages.
• Add 2 tbsp olive oil to the pan and heat to medium heat. Add onions and saute until translucent, about 3-4 minute Add the sundried tomatoes and saute, careful not to burn for 2-3 minute.
• Return chicken to pan with drippings. Bring chicken to temp for about 5 minute and add seasoning mixture, stir to coat.
• Add the artichoke hearts and fold to combine. Be careful not to break up hearts.
• Squeeze lemon juice over chicken and add white wine. Simmer for 3 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms, gently stir and let soften, about 3 minutes more.
• Add the chicken broth and carefully stir the mixture.
• Add the cooked pasta to the chicken and toss carefully.
• Add the heavy cream and simmer on low for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese, parsley and basil. Serve with extra Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
