Ingredients
For the Chicken/Pasta:
- 12 ounces penne pasta
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
For the Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese plus extra for garnish
- 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes drained and chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- fresh basil leaves chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the penne pasta in salted water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set it aside.
- Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook the chicken until it's golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and add butter to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour over the garlic and stir well. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly to create a smooth mixture.
- Once the mixture thickens slightly, stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Simmer the sauce until it thickens to your liking, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the cooked chicken and drained penne pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together until well coated in the sauce.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Garnish with freshly chopped basil and extra grated Parmesan cheese before serving. Enjoy!
