How to cook deliciously - Creamy Lemon Chicken Pasta

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a casserole dish or 9x13-inch pan.

2. Stage

Slice or cube chicken and season lightly with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.

3. Stage

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook farfalle at a boil, stirring occasionally, for 6 minutes. Drain, cover, and set aside.

4. Stage

Heat butter and olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add wine and cook, 1 to 2 minutes. Add garlic and lemon juice and cook, 1 to 2 minutes. Don't allow garlic to brown.

5. Stage

Reduce heat to medium-low and add cream cheese, stirring until melted and blended. Add flour to sour cream, mix well, and stir into the pan. Add chicken stock, parsley, thyme, red pepper, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer until slightly thickened. Add more stock if sauce is too thick. Remove from heat.

6. Stage

Add 1/2 cup Parmesan and lemon zest, stir well. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add partially cooked farfalle and blend well. Pour into the prepared baking or casserole pan and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.

7. Stage

Bake, covered, in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until lightly browned, 7 to 10 minutes more.
