Instructions
- Cook the 12 ounces whole wheat penne pasta in salted water according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp of the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs and season with 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, and Kosher salt and pepper.
- Cook until golden and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes, then set aside.
- To the same preheated skillet, add the remaining oil. Add the 2-3 garlic cloves (minced) and saute for 1 minute. Stir in the 2 tablespoons cornstarch and take a whisk.
- Pour the 1 cup cashew milk little by little while continuously whisking. Once the milk is incorporated, add the 1 1/2 cups chicken broth and 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes and stir well to combine.
- Allow the sauce to bubble for 3-4 minutes, or until thickened.
- Return the chicken to the sauce and add half of the 1 cup grated parmesan cheese. Add the pasta and stir to coat.
- Garnish with the remaining parmesan cheese and any additional fresh herbs and enjoy!
Notes
- Pasta: Use any pasta of your choice.
- Chicken: you may use chicken breast for a leaner option.
- Milk: any milk of your choice will work. You need thick full-fat milk though, so using almond milk will change the consistency a bit.
