Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 ounces pasta of your choice (fettuccine or penne work well)
- Fresh basil for garnish
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream, and chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and let it simmer for another 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Meanwhile, cook your pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, adding the cooked pasta. Toss everything together to coat the pasta and chicken in the creamy sauce.
- Garnish with fresh basil and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- This dish pairs well with a side salad or garlic bread.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper flakes based on your spice preference.
- For a lighter version, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
