Ingredients
- 12 ounces rotini pasta
- 8 lices Bacon diced, thick-cut
- 1 pound chicken breast cut into 1-inch cubes, boneless, skinless
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can sweet corn drained, a few kernels reserved for garnish, 15.25 ounces
- 1 can diced tomatoes drained
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream 178.5 g
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded, 113 g
- parsley chopped, for garnish, fresh
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook 9-10 minutes, or until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chopped bacon. Cook until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon from the pan and place it onto a plate.
- Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the pan; discard the rest.
- Season the chicken evenly with paprika, garlic salt, salt, and pepper.
- Add the seasoned chicken to the same skillet as you cooked the bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F, about 6-8 minutes.
- Add the corn, tomatoes, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through.
- Add the heavy cream and mozzarella. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is warmed through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the cooked pasta and bacon, reserving some bacon for garnish. Stir to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add the reserved pasta water a little bit at a time until you reach your desired consistency. (I added ½ cup pasta water.)
- Garnish with parsley, reserved bacon, and corn kernels. Serve immediately.
