Main ingredients
  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 ounces pasta (penne or fettuccine)
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  3. Remove the chicken and slice it.
  4. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  5. Add sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning, then cook until the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken to the sauce, tossing to coat well.
  9. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil on top.

Notes

Tips include not overcooking the chicken for juiciness, considering zucchini noodles for a low-carb option, and adding a squeeze of lemon juice before serving for a flavor boost.
