Main Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (in oil, drained)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 oz pasta (penne or fettuccine)
  • Fresh basil or parsley, chopped, for garnish

Optional Add-ins:

  • A handful of spinach or kale
  • Sautéed mushrooms
  • A dash of lemon juice for brightness
  • Extra red pepper flakes for heat lovers

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta: Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Season and sear chicken breasts until cooked through. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the sauce: In the same skillet, sauté garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Add in chicken broth, heavy cream, and Parmesan. Cook until slightly thickened.
  4. Combine everything: Slice the chicken, add it back to the skillet with cooked pasta. Toss to coat.
  5. Garnish and serve: Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • To lighten the dish, use half-and-half or evaporated milk instead of heavy cream.
  • Experiment with adding spinach, kale, or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Pair with garlic bread or a green salad for a complete meal.
