- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

- 12 ounces (340g) penne pasta
Parmesan Sauce
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 small onion minced

Instructions
- Season chicken with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and oil in a bowl. Set aside for 15 minutes.
- In the meantime, cook pasta by following the instructions on the packaging. Drain under cold water and set aside.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet on medium high heat. Sear chicken on one side for 2 minutes then flip to sear on the other side for another 2 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, melt butter then add onion and garlic. Cook until garlic is fragrant. Add dried tomato, heavy cream, white wine and parmesan. Stir all together. Allow the sauce to thicken. Don’t leave the skillet. Add pasta in the skillet. Combine all together.
- Add chicken back in the skillet. Cook for 1 minute.

Notes
- Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Keep an eye on the sauce as it thickens. You don’t want it to burn.
- Cook your pasta al dente. Remember, it’ll continue to cook a bit when you mix it with the sauce, so you don’t want it to get mushy.
- Get a good sear on the chicken. This locks in the juices and adds a lovely, flavorful crust.
- Don’t be shy with the Parmesan. A generous sprinkle on top before serving makes this dish even more irresistible.
- Store - Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
