Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 (10 oz) package bowtie pasta
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook the bowtie pasta according to package directions until al dente; drain and set aside.
  2. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and half the Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté chopped onion until softened (3-4 minutes). Add garlic and red bell pepper; cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  4. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes, remaining Italian seasoning, and chicken broth; bring to a simmer.
  5. Reduce heat to low; add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, simmering until sauce thickens (2-3 minutes).
  6. Return chicken to the skillet with cooked pasta; toss until everything is evenly coated.
  7. Garnish with fresh basil and additional Parmesan cheese before serving.
