Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 ounces pasta (penne or fettuccine)
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken and slice it.
Cooking
  1. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  2. Add sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning, then cook until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken to the sauce, tossing to coat well.
  6. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil on top.

Notes

Timing is important: Don’t overcook your chicken. For a lower-calorie version, swap heavy cream for a blend of Greek yogurt and chicken broth. Add red pepper flakes for heat. Experiment with different pasta shapes.
