• 500 g pasta, e.g. farfalle
• 10 bacon slices
• 2 chicken breasts

• some Parmesan, freshly grated
• 2 tbsp oil for frying

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Rest time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 50 minutes

Cut the chicken breasts into pieces. Mix the mustard, chopped garlic, and honey with salt and pepper to taste. Marinate the chicken breast pieces in the mixture and let stand for 10 minutes. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions and then drain. Meanwhile, heat a pan with the oil over medium heat and fry the bacon pieces until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside. Fry the marinated chicken in the remaining fat until golden brown, allowing about half of the liquid to evaporate. Then add the chicken stock and allow another half to evaporate. Finally, add the cream and simmer until the desired consistency is reached. Add the bacon back in and toss everything in the pan with the pasta. Stir in parsley, if desired, and season again with salt and pepper. Serve garnished with parsley and Parmesan cheese.
