Creamy Paprika Chicken Pasta Recipe
Savor this creamy paprika chicken pasta, featuring tender chicken breasts and savory garlic, for a quick and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces farfalle pasta
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons paprika
Instructions
- Pat chicken breasts dry. Season generously with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Sear chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
- While chicken rests, cook farfalle pasta according to package directions. Drain.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Whisk in flour to form a paste, then gradually whisk in white wine and chicken broth until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
- Stir in 2 teaspoons of paprika. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Slice the rested chicken and add it to the sauce along with the cooked pasta. Toss everything together until well coated and heated through.
Notes
- For an extra flavor boost, use smoked paprika.
- Ensure chicken is fully cooked before slicing; an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is recommended.
- Adjust the amount of paprika to your spice preference.
- A splash of heavy cream can be added for an even richer sauce. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
