Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 8 oz pasta (penne or fettuccine)

  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Start by boiling the pasta according to the package instructions. Once al dente, drain and set aside.
  2. Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
  4. Make the Sauce: Pour in the tomato sauce and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Add the Italian seasoning and bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Simmer the Chicken: Return the chicken to the skillet and let it simmer in the sauce for 3-4 minutes.

  7. Serve: Dish out the pasta warm and top with fresh basil for an elegant touch.
