Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter salted
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast with salt and pepper, cut into bite-size pieces, boneless, skinless
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1 pound ziti pasta
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream (warmed)
- 8 ounces Parmesan Cheese about 3 1/2 cups, freshly shredded
- 7 ounces sun dried tomatoes drained, Alessi brand, julienne cut
- 1/4 cup pine nuts for topping, Alessi brand
- 1/4 cup Italian parsley for topping, freshly snipped
- salt to taste
- black 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.
