Ingredients
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tsp paprika
2 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried oregano
8 oz penne pasta
Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
1. Season the Chicken: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and paprika over both sides of the chicken breasts.
2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside.
3. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and red pepper flakes; sauté until fragrant (1-2 minutes). Stir in the heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, thyme, and oregano. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
4. Prepare the Pasta: While the sauce simmers, cook the penne pasta as directed on the package. Drain and set aside.
5. Combine and Serve: Slice the chicken and return it to the skillet. Add the pasta, stirring to coat everything in the sauce. Garnish with fresh basil and extra Parmesan if desired. Serve warm.
