With this (simple!) recipe quickly becoming a family favorite, I decided to share it with you. It's as tasty as Macaroni Grill's, but without the $11.50 per serving price tag (and the mushrooms. Yuck)Ingredients:
8 oz bowtie pasta
1 tbsp butter
2 garlic cloves, minced (Or more. When a recipe calls for 2, I usually add 4. Or 5. You can always add more garlic!)
½ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into pieces
1 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp chopped fresh basil (don't use sweet basil)
Directions:
1. Heat the butter in a large sauce pan. Once melted, add the garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and chicken broth. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. (Um, if you don't know how to boil water and add pasta, you should probably get this book.)
3. Add the heavy cream to the mixture and bring to a boil. Simmer over medium heat until the sauce thickens. That takes about 10-15 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, in another pan, warm oil over medium heat. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and the inside is no longer pink. Add to the cream sauce.
5. Drain pasta and mix with the (delicious) cream sauce.
6. Finally, add the basil and mix it all together.
Mmmmmmm. Enjoy!
