Instructions
Prepare the chicken
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. Drizzle a large skillet with the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add chicken and cook, stirring as needed, for 5-7 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Make the sauce
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Once melted stir in garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in sun dried tomatoes and dried herbs (Italian seasoning or Herbs de Provence), and stir for 1 minute.
- Stir in chicken broth, bring to a high simmer. Stir in heavy cream and parmesan for 3-4 minutes til cheese is melted and sauce is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Put it together
- Stir in chicken and cooked penne noodles. Top with additional parmesan, cracked black pepper, and fresh herbs if desired and serve.
Notes
- *Heavy cream will yield a richer and creamier sauce. If using half and half, reduce chicken broth to 1 cup.
