Ultimate Sun Dried Tomato Chicken Pasta
Savor this Ultimate Sun Dried Tomato Chicken Pasta featuring tender chicken and sun-dried tomatoes in a rich sauce.
Ingredients
- Ziti or other pasta
- Butter
- Chicken, cut into bite sized pieces
- All purpose seasoning mix for the chicken
- Cayenne pepper
- Sun dried tomatoes, drained
- Garlic cloves
- Heavy cream
- Mozzarella cheese
- Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Heat the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sprinkle with the seasoning and the cayenne. Sauté until the chicken is cooked through.
- Drain the oil from the sun dried tomatoes. Chop into smaller pieces if you want. Add them to the pan with the garlic and sauté for a few minutes, until fragrant. You will probably still get some of the oil from the sun dried tomatoes – that’s okay.
- Stir in the heavy cream and let the mixture come to a slow simmer. Add the mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and incorporated.
- Stir in the cooked pasta. If needed, add in chicken broth, a little at a time, to thin out the sauce. Season with salt to taste.
Notes
- Use high-quality sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil for the best flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken; cook in batches if necessary.
- Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preferred spice level.
- If the sauce is too thick, thin it with a splash of pasta water or chicken broth. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
