This Pesto Chicken Pasta is bursting with flavor and rich in creamy, herby goodness. Perfectly seasoned chicken is pan-seared until golden, then combined with a luscious sauce of garlic, bone broth, cream, pesto, and Parmesan. Bowtie pasta soaks up every drop of the velvety sauce, making it an incredibly satisfying and crowd-pleasing meal. Simple, quick, and loaded with bold flavor—this is comfort food with a gourmet twist.
