Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup chicken broth

Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sear the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
4. Combine: Slice the cooked chicken and add it back to the skillet along with the cooked pasta. Toss everything together until well coated in the creamy sauce.
5. Garnish and Serve: Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves for a burst of color and flavor.
