A creamy and satisfying pasta dish featuring chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, and parmesan that promises to delight your taste buds.

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 to sauté for about 1 minute until you can smell its fragrance. 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 becomes smooth.
  6. Combine and toss: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, then add the drained pasta. Toss everything together until it’s coated in the creamy sauce. If it seems too thick, use some reserved pasta water to achieve your desired 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 a twist, you can substitute chicken with shrimp or tofu. Add baby spinach or mushrooms for extra flavor.
