Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (with salt and pepper, cut into bite-size pieces)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1 pound Ziti pasta
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream (warmed)
- 8 ounces freshly shredded Parmesan cheese (about 3 1/2 cups)
- 7 ounces Alessi julienne cut sun dried tomatoes (drained)
- 1/4 cup Alessi Pine Nuts (for topping)
- 1/4 cup freshly snipped Italian parsley (for topping)
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chicken pieces into the skillet and saute until browned on at least 2 sides. Don't cook all the way through. Just brown them.
- Move the chicken from the pan to a plate and set aside.
- Add the garlic to the skillet. Cook and stir for 30 seconds.
- Add the chicken stock and bring it to a low boil.
- Add the pasta and boil for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the warmed cream and the chicken with juices. Stir well. Cover and simmer over low heat for 4-5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, stirring occasionally.
- Slowly add in 3 cups of freshly shredded Parmesan cheese, 1/2 a cup at a time, stirring between each addition. Save about 1/2 a cup for using as a topping on the pasta when serving.
- Once the cheese has all melted in, add the drained sun dried tomatoes and mix well.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer spoonfuls of the pasta to serving plates and sprinkle with pine nuts, fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese.
- Serve warm.

- The calories shown are based on the recipe being divided 8 ways, with 1 serving being 1/8 of the recipe. Since different brands of ingredients have different nutritional information, the calories shown are just an estimate.
