Warm olive oil in a big pan on medium-high. Cook chicken for around 5-6 minutes each side till browned and cooked through. Take off and keep warm.

Add chicken stock and cream, stirring together and let it simmer gently.
05 -
Stir in Parmesan until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
06 -
While sauce cooks, boil farfalle in salted water based on package instructions. Drain and put aside.
07 -
Cut the chicken into strips, put it back in the pan, and simmer for a couple of minutes to mix the flavors.
08 -
Put the pasta into the pan and mix well so every bit is coated in the creamy sauce.

Top with fresh basil and some red pepper flakes if you like a little heat. Serve up right away.
# Helpful Tips:

Add spinach or mushrooms to the sauce to boost the nutrition.
