Cook the bowtie pasta according to package instructions; drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the diced chicken to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine, then add the cooked pasta.
Gradually stir in the mozzarella cheese until melted and creamy.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

For more flavor, add a splash of store-bought chicken broth before the cream. Use pre-shredded mozzarella to save time.
