Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the bowtie pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. Season cubed chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden and fully cooked. Set aside.

3. In the same skillet, add remaining butter and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

4. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add Velveeta cubes and stir until melted and smooth.

5. Stir in mozzarella cheese, more Italian seasoning, and adjust with salt and pepper. Let the sauce thicken slightly.

6. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and add drained pasta. Toss until fully coated in the sauce.

7. Serve hot, garnished with extra cheese or parsley if desired.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken to save time.

Add crushed red pepper for heat.

Double the sauce for extra creamy pasta.
