Ingredients
1 lb chicken tenders
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper (to taste)
8 oz farfalle (bowtie pasta)
4 slices bacon (chopped)
1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh thyme (for garnish)
Directions
Season and cook chicken: Season chicken tenders with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Cook pasta: Boil pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Cook bacon: In the same skillet, cook chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving 1 tbsp of bacon fat in the pan.
Sauté corn and garlic: Add minced garlic and corn to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Make the sauce: Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, and Parmesan cheese. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Combine everything: Add cooked pasta, bacon, and chicken back to the skillet. Toss everything to coat in the creamy sauce.
Serve: Garnish with fresh thyme and serve warm for a comforting, hearty meal!
