Equipment
- Large skillet
- Pasta Pot

Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium Chicken breasts boneless, skinless, cut into chunks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil for cooking
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
- 1/2 cup Sun-dried tomatoes chopped
- 1 cup Chicken broth for thinning the sauce if needed
- 8 oz Pasta (penne, linguine, or fusilli) cooked according to package instructions
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Add heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes. Stir everything together until it forms a smooth and creamy sauce.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and let it simmer in the sauce for 5-10 minutes.

- Serve warm, garnished with extra Parmesan and fresh basil if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of white wine before simmering the sauce.
