Ingredients

  • 6 ounces bowtie pasta
  • 2 tablespoons butter divided
  • 2 medium potatoes cubed
  • 1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken thigh chopped in small pieces
  • 1/2 small onion chopped
  • 6 button mushrooms sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or half and half
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan freshly grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large pan over medium heat, melt the butter, then add the potatoes and saute, tossing occasionally, to crisp all sides of the potatoes, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the chicken, onion, and mushrooms to the pan and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned, about 5-8 minutes. 
  • Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
  • Add the cream, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Mix everything together and let bubble for a few minutes, until the cream begins to thicken. Add more salt and pepper, if necessary.
  • Add the drained pasta into the skillet and toss to coat. Allow everything to heat up together for a few minutes. Serve.
