Equipment

  • Large skillet

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces uncooked penne pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup diced white onion
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil drained and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups cooked cubed chicken
  • Salt and pepper
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and Italian seasoning; Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes stirring regularly.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.

Notes

  • Pasta: You can use a similar shape of pasta like
  • Sundried tomatoes: Roasted red peppers work well in place of the tomatoes.
  • Parmesan Cheese: A similar cheese like pecorino works well.
  • Seasonings: Adjust according to taste; fresh herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme can be used in place of the dried seasoning.
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
