Seasoned Chicken Breast With Bow Tie Pasta And White Sauce Recipe

Seasoning the Chicken

Start by patting dry the chicken breast. Mix your choice of herbs—thyme, rosemary, and garlic powder—with salt and pepper. Generously rub this mixture all over the chicken breast. In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Set aside to rest.

Preparing the Pasta

Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the bow tie pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Making the White Sauce

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for a couple of minutes. Gradually add the milk or cream while continuously stirring to prevent lumps. Once the sauce has thickened, you can add cheese if desired, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Combining the Ingredients

Combine the pasta with the white sauce, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Slice the rested chicken breast and lay it over the pasta. Steam the broccoli until tender and serve it alongside the pasta and chicken.
