Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken and Pasta

The first step is to get your pasta water boiling and your chicken prepped. Fill a large pot with water, add a generous pinch of salt (enough to make it taste like the sea!), and bring it to a rolling boil. While the water heats up, let’s talk chicken. For this recipe, I love using chicken thighs because they stay incredibly moist and flavorful, but boneless, skinless chicken breasts work wonderfully too. Cut your chicken into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with 1.5 teaspoons of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and a good grind of fresh black pepper. Make sure each piece is evenly coated. This seasoning blend will infuse the chicken with a delicious smoky and herbaceous aroma as it cooks.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken to Golden Perfection

Once your pasta water is boiling, you can start cooking the chicken. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, carefully add the seasoned chicken pieces. Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary to ensure the chicken gets a beautiful golden-brown sear rather than steaming. Sear the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until it’s cooked through and has a lovely caramelized exterior. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate. It’s okay if there are some browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan – that’s pure flavor waiting to be deglazed!

While the chicken is cooking, add your farfalle pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package directions until al dente. This means it should be tender but still have a slight bite. Don’t overcook it, as it will continue to cook slightly in the sauce. Before draining the pasta, reserve about 1 cup of the starchy pasta water. This magical liquid is key to creating a silky smooth sauce. Drain the pasta and set it aside.

Step 3: Build the Flavor Base and Add the Corn

In the same skillet you used for the chicken, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil (if needed). Reduce the heat to medium. Add 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika and 1 teaspoon of chili powder to the skillet. Stir them around in the oil for about 30 seconds until fragrant. This blooming of the spices in the oil releases their full aromatic potential. Now, add your cooked corn kernels to the skillet. If you’re using fresh corn, you can boil or grill the ears first, then cut the kernels off. Stir the corn with the spices for a minute or two to warm it through and let it absorb some of those delicious flavors. Season the corn with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Create the Luscious Cream Sauce

This is where the magic happens! Pour the 1 cup of heavy cream into the skillet with the corn. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the cream simmer gently for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begin extracts to thicken slightly. This is the base of our incredibly rich and decadent sauce. Now, add the cooked chicken back into the skillet with the creamy corn mixture. Stir to combine and allow the chicken to heat through in the sauce.

Step 5: Bring It All Together

Add the drained farfalle pasta to the skillet with the chicken and corn in the cream sauce. Gently toss everything together until the pasta is well coated. If the sauce seems a little too thick for your liking, this is where that reserved pasta water comes in. Gradually add a few tablespoons at a time, stirring continuously, until you reach your desired consistency. The starch in the water will help emulsify the sauce and make it incredibly smooth and luxurious. Stir in the ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Continue to stir until the cheese is melted and fully incorporated into the sauce, creating that final creamy, cheesy goodness. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Finally, it’s time for the star of the show! Crum extractble the crispy, savory beef beef bacon over the top of the pasta. The salty, smoky crunch of the beef beef bacon provides a delightful contrast to the creamy pasta and tender chicken. Serve immediately and prepare for rave reviews! This dish is hearty, satisfying, and absolutely delicious. Enjoy every single bite!

Garlic bread is also a fantastic companion for soaking up any leftover sauce.

You could also swap out the chicken for shrimp or even add some roasted broccoli. Don’t be afraid to experiment and make it your own! I genuinely encourage you to give this recipe a try; I’m confident you’ll love it as much as I do.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, you can! You can prepare the sauce and cook the chicken and beef bacon separately and then combine and reheat just before serving. It’s best to cook the pasta fresh when you’re ready to eat to avoid it becoming mushy.

What kind of pasta works best?

I find that short pasta shapes like penne, rotini, or farfalle work wonderfully as they hold the creamy sauce so well. However, you can really use your favorite type of pasta!
