Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 8 ounces pasta (such as penne or rotini)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the pot. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  4. Pour in chicken broth, heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and bring to a boil.
  5. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
  6. Return chicken to the pot and stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
  7. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

For extra richness, add more Parmesan cheese or a splash of white wine before adding the pasta. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
