Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomato chopped

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons basil

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about a minute.
  2. Add the tomatoes and 3/4 cup of the chicken broth. Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered, for about 10 minutes.

  4. Sprinkle salt and pepper over both sides of the chicken.
  5. Heat the olive oil in a skillet, then add the chicken and saute until it's is no longer pink inside.
  6. (About 4 minutes each side should do it.) Remove the chicken from the skillet and drain the fat from the skillet.

  8. Serve chicken atop the pasta, coat with the cream sauce.
