Ingredients 

8 ounces uncooked farfalle (bow-tie) pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 (24 ounces) Gold'n Plump® Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 medium red bell pepper, coarsely chopped (1 cup)
1 medium yellow bell pepper, coarsely chopped (1 cup)
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint and/or basil
1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions 

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid.

Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and half of garlic, cook, stirring occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Remove from skillet to plate.

Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and garlic to skillet. Stir in onion, bell peppers, and raisins; cook, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes or until tender. Stir chicken and pasta with reserved cooking liquid into skillet; cook and stir 1 minute.

Serve chicken and pasta sprinkled with herbs, feta, and pine nuts.

Tips 

To toast pine nuts, place in a small dry skillet over medium heat. Shake the pan or stir the nuts frequently, until the nuts turn a golden brown and are fragrant. Keep an eye on them as they can burn easily.
