1 Prepare the bowtie pasta until it reaches an al dente texture. Drain it thoroughly, then place it aside while you cook the chicken and make the sauce.

2 Warm part of the divided butter with the olive oil. Add the chicken pieces, then season them with the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt to taste. Cook until the chicken develops a golden exterior.

3 Add the minced garlic and the remaining butter. Stir in the cubed Velveeta, softened cream cheese, heavy cream, and chicken broth, mixing until the cheeses melt and the sauce becomes smooth.

4 Return the drained bowtie pasta to the sauce along with the cooked chicken. Toss everything thoroughly so the pasta and chicken are evenly coated.

5 Add the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan. Continue stirring until both cheeses have melted and the sauce is creamy, then serve.
