Garlic Chicken Farfalle

3-4 chicken breasts

2-3 cloves garlic crushed

1 TBS pepper

1/2 c. butter

1 lb bacon

1/2 c. shredded Parmesan cheese

1 (12 oz) Lawry's Mesquite Marinade with Lime

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.
