Garlic Chicken Farfalle

A fantastic recipe found on Becky Higgin's website. We
tried it out tonight with company and loved it!! Feeds 6-8
good portions.  This recipe has been changed from Becky's
to my families preferences!

16 oz. Farfalle pasta
1 c. heavy whipping cream
3 chicken breasts or about 1 ½ lbs. (boneless, skinless)
2 to 3 cloves garlic, crushed OR some garlic salt
½ tsp. pepper (or more if you like)
½ cup butter
½ lb. bacon in little pieces
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 (12 oz) Lawry’s mesquite marinade with lime juice

Cook chicken and bottle of marinade in crock pot on low
for 4-5 hours or high for 3 and low for about an hour (time
depends on size of crockpot).
It's done when it can be shredded well with 2 forks.
Pull chicken out of the juices, allow to cool a bit, and shred.
Set this aside. About a half-hour before serving, cook the
pasta and bacon. In a small saucepan, melt butter,add garlic,
whipping cream, pepper and parmesan. Whisk together on
low heat for 3-4 minutes. In a large bowl, pour over pasta,
add chicken and bacon and stir well. Sprinkle a little bit
more parmesan on top.

Joe introduced me to these, and Paula Deen has a recipe for them on Food Network . So I am jumping to the conclusion that they are popular in the South... :) Here's how we made ours. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large pot on medium heat. You want to heat to about 350 degrees, so we used a candy thermometer to monitor the temp. Prepare the toppings. Note - For the toppings, we didn't actually measure any of the ingredients, just eyeballed it. But this is about how much we used. Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1 Tbsp milk (add more to thin as necessary) Whisk together, set aside. Chocolate Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 2 Tbsp cocoa powder 1 Tbsp milk (add more to thin as necessary) Whisk together, set aside.

1 pkg Yeast (1TB) 1 TB Sugar 1 1/2 C Really warm water Put the water in a bowl and sprinkle the yeast and sugar on top and let set until foamy. For extra speed I set the bowl in the sink with HOT water surrounding the bowl. This will help the yeast activate faster. Add 2 1/2 C Flour 1 tsp Salt Mix all together. Let rise until double in bulk. (For a speedy trick I put it in the oven on no more than 100 to help it rise faster.) Punch down and grease one cookie sheet and spread dough over to fit the sheet. Don't put toppings on it yet. Poke it with a fork just enough so it doesn't puff up. Bake at 400 for 10 minutes. Or just before it turns brown. Bring it out and top with sauce and cheese and toppings. Put it back in the oven and bake until cheese melts. For me it is all about the sauce you use and the kind of cheese I still have yet to find the perfect combo but we LOVE the crust especially since you pre bake you won't ever have it come out doughy. Enjoy
