Description

A creamy, rich chicken pasta dish featuring tender chicken breasts, sun-dried tomatoes, and parmesan cheese, perfectly suited for an impressive yet quick date night dinner in just 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 chicken breasts, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Sauce

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Pasta

  • 250 g pasta (penne or fettuccine recommended)

Garnish

  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta: Fill a large pot with water, bring it to a boil, add salt, and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Season and cook chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry, season them generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side depending on thickness. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté garlic and sun-dried tomatoes: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium, add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, sauté until fragrant and tomatoes soften, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Prepare the sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Add grated parmesan and Italian seasoning. Let the sauce simmer gently until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
  5. Combine chicken and sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and coat it thoroughly with the creamy sauce, warming it through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Toss pasta with sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the creamy sauce and chicken is evenly distributed.
  7. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve immediately for a delicious, comforting date night meal.

Notes

  • Use penne or fettuccine for the best pasta texture in this dish.
  • Add chili flakes if you prefer a spicy kick to balance the creaminess.
