Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound penne pasta (or your favorite noodle shape)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut into small pieces
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta (10 minutes): Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
  2. Cook the chicken (10 minutes): While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté the aromatics (5 minutes): In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  4. Combine the ingredients (5 minutes): Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Finish the sauce (5 minutes): Add the white wine and Parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce comes together. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.
  6. Combine pasta and sauce (2 minutes): Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat everything through.
  7. Garnish and serve (1 minute): Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving.

Notes

This pasta is a hearty and flavorful dish that is sure to satisfy. The key to maximizing flavor is to use quality sun-dried tomatoes and fresh garlic.

For a creamier version, you can substitute the white wine for heavy cream or half-and-half.

This dish is best served immediately, while the sauce is creamy and the pasta perfectly coated!
