Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until the chicken is no longer cooked in the center, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large saucepan set over medium heat. Add onion and cook until the onion is soft and starting to turn brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
- To the saucepan, add whipping cream, chicken broth, and water. Simmer, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes. Add green beans to the cream mixture. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until the green beans are tender crisp. Add red bell pepper and simmer for one additional minute. Add the cooked chicken to the cream sauce to reheat.
- While the cream sauce and vegetables are cooking, cook 1 pound (16 ounces) farfalle pasta in a large pot of salted water until al dente. Drain the pasta and add it to the cream sauce. Toss to combine. Add flat-leaf parsley, lemon zest, and Parmesan cheese. Toss again to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
