Anweisungen

Chicken Pasta

Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain the pasta and set aside while you prepare the chicken and sauce.

Cut the chicken into 1-inch bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink and cooked through.

Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate, and set it aside while you make the sauce.

Sauce

Return to the same skillet, then add the butter. Once it is melted, sauté the garlic for 30 seconds until it's fragrant. Add in the flour and stir to make a paste.

Whisk in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and parmesan cheese.

Stir in the drained sun-dried tomatoes, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Season with more salt and pepper if needed.

Simmer the sauce for a few minutes for it to thicken.

Return the chicken to the skillet along with the cooked pasta. Stir to coat the chicken and pasta in the sauce.

Garnish with chopped basil leaves and additional parmesan cheese.
