I got this recipe off of Becky Higgins' blog. Everybody who's had it loves it. Trust me, it's a real crowd-pleaser.Here it is:
16 oz. farfalle pasta (bowtie)
1 c. heavy whipping cream
3 chicken breasts
2-3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 Tbsp. pepper*
1/2 c. butter
1 lb bacon - crumbled**
1/2 c. parmesan cheese
1 (12 oz) bottle Lawry's mesquite marinade with Lime juice
*Seems like a lot of pepper, but it has a wonderful flavor when everything mixes together. If you're apprehensive, do less pepper. You can always add more.
**We like to cook our bacon in the oven. Way less messy. And it's crispy every time. Time varies, so you just have to watch it. Allow to cool and then crumple.
Crock pot chicken and bottle of marinade on low for 6 hours. Pull marinated chicken out of the juices, allow to cool a little bit, and shred (I pull it apart). Set this aside. About a half-hour before serving, boil the pasta. In a small saucepan, melt butter, add garlic, whipping cream, pepper, parmesan cheese, and crumpled bacon. Whisk together on low heat for 3-4 minutes. In a large bowl, pour over cooked, drained pasta, add chicken and stir through. Sprinkle a little bit more shredded parmesan cheese on top.

This sounds good. I'll love to see this blog but I don't know that I have anything good enough to contribute.
This recipe is so yummy! Thanks for sharing it Linds!
great idea linds! this recipe sounds good too! one of my good friends also has a recipe blog and i love it! i have tried many of her recipes...cause like you, i get sick of making the same ol' same ol'!
I just found this blog...and I love it!
Is this the recipe that you had in one of your tags?? It looks awesome. Thanks for the invite too!
I've made this twice and love it despite the fact that the first time, I used the wrong marinade. The flavor was still great and I will probably use the "wrong" marinade again sometime. I have found that it is easy to double for those times when you are feeding a large crowd. BTW, there is plenty of marinade to allow you to double the chicken during the crock pot stage and freeze it for a quick meal another time. Thanks Linds for experimenting with this one and passing it along.
Lindsay. I love this new blog, but I have no idea how to contribute to it. I am an old non knowing how to person. Let me know how I am to go about doing that. Thanks...
And this recipe looks fantastic. What a way to start it out with. Yum.
Lindsay, I was on my daughter blog. Sorry, its Jan asking the question.
