Scale
For the Chicken:
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
For the Pasta:
- 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flake
- 8 oz medium pasta such as penne, fusilli, bowties, etc.
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- Fresh basil, chopped or torn, for serving
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Pat chicken breasts dry and pound out to an even thickness. Season liberally with salt and pepper.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and brown chicken on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and set aside. Chicken does not need to be cooked through at this point.
- Prepare the Sauce: Reduce heat to medium and stir butter into skillet. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, just 30 seconds. Stir in white wine to deglaze pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Stir in chicken broth, cream, Italian seasoning, red pepper flake, and sun-dried tomatoes.
- Cook the Pasta: Increase heat and bring to a simmer. Stir in pasta and nestle chicken breasts on top. Cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until pasta is al dente and chicken has cooked through, 15-20 minutes.
- Finish and Serve: Remove chicken from pan, then stir parmesan and basil into pasta and season to taste with salt and pepper. Slice or chop chicken breasts and stir into pasta. Serve and enjoy!
