Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 8 oz pasta (penne or fettuccine)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Start by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions. Once it’s al dente, drain and set it aside.
  2. Season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, red pepper flakes for some heat (if desired), and Italian seasoning. Allow it to simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and the cooked pasta, tossing everything together to coat well.
  7. Slice the chicken and arrange it on top of the pasta. Garnish with the chopped fresh basil and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if you desire.

Notes

Serve with a crisp green salad and a glass of white wine for a complete meal experience.
