Creamy Chicken with Bowtie Pasta
Creamy Chicken with Bowtie Pasta has chicken with sun dried tomatoes, basil, and a creamy white wine sauce served over pasta.
This recipe was originally served inside an adorable puff pastry shell, but Leslie suggested that it would great over pasta as well. I love bowtie pasta, so I decided to make the chicken and sauce with that. This recipe is so delicious!!! I love all of the flavors. I highly recommend this recipe!

Oh wow! That looks delicious. I bet the sundried tomatoes and bacon really impart great flavor to this. I love pasta dishes!
Looked fantastic at Leslies, looks fantastic here! I've actually never worked with puff pastry, but I'm all about pasta.
Oh wow! This is right up my alley. Great use of healthier bacon!
This looks like something you'd get at a restaurant – yum! The turkey bacon, sundried tomatoes, and basil make it sound so flavorful!
This is my kind of recipe. Creamy, crispy and chewy-what a great mariage of textures.
This sounds wonderful – I love turkey bacon!
Would it be better to use a sweet white wine or a dry one?
Hi Kylie,
I'm not much of a wine drinker so I can't say for sure, I probably used sweet, although I see dry in a lot of recipes. I've always heard that it's best to use a wine that you like to drink so you can have the leftovers! 🙂
