Grilled chicken and farfalle in a creamy mushroom sauce make a hearty, flavorful main for any table.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Protein

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

→ Seasonings

02 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
03 - 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

→ Oils and Fats

04 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
05 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

→ Pasta

06 - 8 ounces farfalle pasta (bow-tie)

→ Vegetables

07 - 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
08 - 1 clove garlic, minced

→ Liquids

09 - 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
10 - 1/2 cup non-alcoholic white cooking wine substitute (such as white grape juice with a splash of vinegar)
11 - 1/2 cup heavy cream

→ Thickener

12 - 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional)

→ Garnish

13 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a grill pan or on an outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill chicken for about 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until meat is fully cooked and juices run clear. Transfer to a plate and allow to rest.
02 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook farfalle according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
03 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes until softened and golden.
04 - Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and white cooking wine substitute. Simmer for 4 to 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
05 - Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream. If a thicker sauce is desired, whisk in the cornstarch-water mixture and cook, stirring, until the sauce reaches preferred consistency.
06 - Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips. Add chicken and cooked farfalle to the skillet with the sauce. Gently toss to coat and heat through.
07 - Transfer to plates and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately while hot.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - To save time, start cooking the pasta while the chicken grills. Use freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finish.
