Mesquite Chicken Farfalle

When I was dating my husband, I tried finding recipes that would win him over. My roommate gave me this easy Mesquite Chicken Farfalle recipe and said it has always been a hit in her home. Well sure enough it was a success. I’m now a married woman and get to see a happy husband every time I make this farfalle recipe.  I’m not saying this was the main reason I got married, but I’m sure it didn’t hurt!  Single ladies, you can take that one to the bank. 🙂
