A creamy, flavorful dish featuring chicken breasts, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh basil, perfect for weeknight dinners or impressing guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup pasta (e.g., fettuccine or penne)
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (in oil, drained)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and slice.
  3. Add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the same skillet. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream, bringing it to a simmer. Stir in the parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy.
  5. Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat everything in the sauce.

Notes

Choose high-quality chicken breasts for the best flavor. Allow the chicken to rest before slicing to retain juiciness. Experiment with different pasta types and add vegetables for nutrition.
