Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 8 ounces pasta (like fettuccine or penne)
  • Fresh basil, for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil.
  2. Add the chicken and cook until golden on both sides and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.
  3. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning, cooking until the sauce thickens.
  6. Add the cooked pasta and toss to coat. Slice the chicken and place it on top of the pasta.
Serving
  1. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

Slice the chicken against the grain for tender bites, and don’t skimp on the Parmesan. For a sweeter, nuttier counterpoint, serve with honey wheat bread for a thoughtful touch.
