Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 oz of penne pasta
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup of sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- 1/2 cup of chicken broth
- 1/4 cup of heavy cream
- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

- Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Allow the liquid to reduce slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, then add the cooked chicken back to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta in the sauce.
- Garnish with fresh basil and additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
