Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil), roughly chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 oz penne pasta

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water.

    Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sear the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

      Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Then, add the heavy cream and stir until the mixture is well combined and slightly thickened (about 2-3 minutes).

        Combine Ingredients: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency. Add the cooked penne pasta and sliced chicken to the sauce, tossing everything together until evenly coated.

          Taste and Adjust: Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.

            Serve: Plate the chicken pasta, garnishing with fresh basil for a pop of color and flavor.
