Ingredients
1 Pack (2lbs) Chicken Tenderloin or Breast
Bacon Chopped
1 Red bell pepper
1 Green bell pepper
1 Red Onion
3 tbsp Lane’s Garlic² Butter or butter and a clove of garlic (Find this Garlic² Butter at Townley!)
Salt
3/4 lb box Bowtie Pasta
Blackened or Cajun Rub/Seasoning
1/4 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Cherry Tomatoes halved
Parsley
Directions
- Bring pot to boil on your grill and add a teaspoon of salt, once boiling add bowtie pasta, cook till al dente, remove and strain.
- Cook and chop 3 or 4 strips Bacon – Add more or less depending on your love for bacon
- Dice onion, green and red bell pepper (Make sure core, tops, and bottoms of bell peppers are removed)
- Over medium heat, add one tablespoon Garlic² butter, onions, and bell peppers to a skillet until slightly softened and remove. You still want a slight crunch.
- Prep chicken – Make sure chicken is at even thickness, trim to keep even thickness. Season all sides of chicken with blackening rub.
- Over medium heat, preferably in a cast-iron skillet (find Lodge at Townley!) add one tablespoon Lane’s Garlic² Butter.
- Once butter is melted and hot add chicken, the goal is to only flip the chicken one time. You want the seasoning to develop a strong crust. Cook chicken until internal temp of 165 degrees.
- In a large skillet add one tablespoon of Garlic² Butter and bowtie pasta. Stir till all mixed together.
- Add chicken, onion, bacon, and bell peppers stir and heat for two minutes.
- Remove and add Parmesan, parsley, and cherry tomatoes sliced in half (add as much or as little as you would like) and enjoy!
