A delightful pasta dish featuring chicken in a rich, creamy sauce with sun-dried tomatoes, perfect for impressing family or guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz penne pasta
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta: Begin by cooking the penne pasta according to package directions until it’s al dente. Drain it and save 1 cup of the pasta water for later.
  2. Season the chicken: Take the boneless chicken breasts and season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Sauté the chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 6-8 minutes until it’s golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Sauté garlic and tomatoes: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Next, stir in the sun-dried tomatoes for another 2 minutes.
  5. Create the sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in the parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce is smooth.
  6. Combine and toss: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, then add the drained pasta. Toss everything together until it’s beautifully coated in the creamy sauce. If it seems too thick, use some reserved pasta water to adjust the consistency.
  7. Finish with parsley: Remove from heat and gently stir in fresh chopped parsley. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
  8. Serve promptly: Plate your delicious creation immediately while it’s hot, and enjoy!

Notes

For alternatives, use fresh chicken for better flavor, or turkey meat. Serve with a side salad or extra parmesan.
