If you’re interested in a pasta dish with serious flavor, give this is try. We’re hosting a dinner party tonight, and my chicken is in the crock-pot now. This is one of our favorite things to make for a large group.
GARLIC CHICKEN FARFALLE
16 oz. Farfalle pasta
1 c. heavy whipping cream
3-4 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
2 to 3 cloves garlic, crushed OR garlic salt (I do a spoonful of crushed garlic)
1 Tbsp. pepper*
1/2 c. butter
1 lb. bacon, crumpled**
1/2 c. shredded Parmesan cheese
1 (12 oz) Lawry’s mesquite marinade with lime juice
*Seems like a lot of pepper, but it has a wonderful flavor when everything mixes together. If you’re apprehensive, do less pepper. You can always add more.
**We like to cook our bacon in the oven (400 degrees, convection). Way less messy. And it’s crispy every time. Time varies, so you just have to watch it. I think it’s usually around 30 minutes. Allow to cool and then crumple (I totally wear disposable gloves for this part – surprise, surprise).
[ directions ]
Crock pot chicken and bottle of marinade on low for 6 hours. Pull marinated chicken out of the juices, allow to cool a little bit, and shred (I pull it apart). Set this aside. About a half-hour before serving, boil the pasta. In a small saucepan, melt butter, add garlic, whipping cream, pepper, parmesan cheese, and crumpled bacon. Whisk together on low heat for 3-4 minutes. In a large bowl, pour over cooked, drained pasta, add chicken and stir through. Sprinkle a little bit more shredded parmesan cheese on top.
Thanks for sharing! Delishy Dish!
Enjoy your party!!
My mouth watered as I read this recipe. Thanks, Becky! I'm on Spring Break this week, and I am committed to home-cooked meals… so sick of take out.
What a great blend of flavors! My husband is actually our chef, and he whooped this up for dinner for the family. He added scallions and red pepper to the garlic white sauce, a nice addition. And I have leftovers for lunch at work the next day, my coworkers will so jealous.
Tried this tonight and it was fantastic! Thanks Becky! I love your recipes.
I have made this numerous times for family, friends, church and large gatherings. One of our family’s all time favorites… Thanks for the recipe, Becky!
This was wonderful; we loved the garlic in it! Thank you!
Hi Becky,
I made this dish for my family last night and it was delicious. EVERYONE loved it. Thank you so much for sharing. We’ll definately be making this again and again. I can’t wait to try out some of your other recipes.
this is so good. so good. totally something i would order at a restaurant, and now i can make it myself at home for half the price. bless you becky! this is a keeper for sure!
I made this tonight. My family really liked it. A LOT! Thanks!
I stumbled across your recipe and made it for dinner tonight and it was incredible. Definately a keeper, thank you for sharing.
We added sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce and cooked the pasta with fresh broccoli. There’s so much you could do with this. Haven’t been able to find the Lawry’s Mesquite marinade, so we used Lawry’s Garlic and Herb and have tried Mrs. Dash’s Mesquite marinade. The Garlic and Herb was SO GOOD! (Mrs. Dash’s was just “meh”–even led Hubs to request the pasta sans chicken next time.)
I made this for dinner tonight, and added fresh spinach and mushrooms to it. So delicious!

Becky, one of our favorites. You probably already know you can get Hormel real bacon pieces in a jar. Saves so much time and mess and you get all the flavor. We also use 1/2 and 1/2…a little healthier. Thanks!
