A quick and flavorful creamy sun-dried tomato chicken pasta, perfect for a date night or weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 ounces pasta, cooked according to package directions
  • Fresh basil, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  2. Add minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the cooked pasta and toss to coat everything in the sauce.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
  • This dish pairs well with a simple green salad.
