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!

Kylie says
Would it be better to use a sweet white wine or a dry one?
Meghan says
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! 🙂
