Penne pasta served with grilled chicken breast and a creamy sun-dried tomato sauce (+ $2 Pesto)

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Boil the Pasta

While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Prepare the Chicken

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat, let rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.

Grill the Chicken

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Prepare the Sauce

Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, basil, salt, and black pepper. Allow the sauce to thicken for about 3-4 minutes.

Combine Ingredients

Add the drained penne pasta to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. If desired, drizzle with pesto sauce for an extra flavor boost.

Mix Pasta and Sauce

Plate the creamy chicken penne, topping with sliced grilled chicken and additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy your meal!
