Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Chicken Breast, Large and Cut into Two Thin Pieces
  • 1 Tbsp Butter
  • 1 Shallot or Onion (Diced Small)
  • 6 White Mushrooms (Sliced Thin)
  • 2 Tbsp Sun Dried Tomatoes (With Oil)
  • 3 Garlic Cloves (Minced)
  • 1 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 Cup Parmigiano Reggiano, Freshly Grated, Extra for Topping
  • 1/4 Cup Pasta Water
  • 8 oz Pasta of Your Choice
Italian Blend
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning

Method
 

  1. Prep all of your ingredients.
  2. Pat your chicken dry and cover with 1 Tbsp of olive oil and the Italian Blend.
  3. In a medium pan over medium heat add 1 Tbsp of oil and get hot. Add your chicken. If you don’t hear a sizzle sound, pull chicken out and wait for oil to get hot. Cook 3-5 minutes per side or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Pull chicken out and let it rest while you work on sauce.
  4. Melt butter in the same pan and sauté mushrooms and onions for 3 minutes. Add sundried tomatoes and garlic. Cook for another 2 minutes. Lower the heat and slowly add cream and pasta water. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes. Stir constantly so the cream does not burn. Turn heat off and add in cheese. The sauce will thick up after you add the cheese.
  6. Toss some of the sauce with the cooked pasta. Place chicken on top and top with more sauce and cheese.
  7. Enjoy!
