Sundried Tomato and Chicken Parmesan Pasta

I am not going to lie, I love sundried tomatoes so much I could eat them straight from the jar. This pasta dinner combines sauteed chicken tenders with fettucine (or a pasta of your choice) in a creamy parmesan sauce filled with sundried tomatoes.

Ingredients:

8 ounces fettucine (or other pasta)

2 tablespoons oil from sundried tomatoes

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning blend

1 pound chicken tenders

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup half and half

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 tablespoon fresh basil

1 shallot diced

4 garlic cloves diced

8 ounces julienned or chopped sundried tomatoes (drained)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 chicken bouillon cube

Directions:

1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile add 2 tablespoons oil from the sundried tomatoes to a skillet and heat to medium. Cook the chicken tenders for at least 5 minutes per side. Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the chicken.
3. While the chicken is cooking and water is boiling prepare the sauce.
4. Spray a nonstick pan with olive oil spray.
5. Cook the shallot and garlic on medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
6. Add the chicken bouillon cube, chicken broth, half and half, and oregano. Allow the sauce to simmer stirring often for 5 minutes.
7. Add the sundried tomatoes, parmesan, and mozzarella. Stir until the cheese dissolves into the sauce. Then remove from heat.
8. Sprinkel the fresh basil over the sauce.
9. To serve plate the fettucine and a chicken tender on each dish. Top the pasta with the sauce. Feel free to sprinkle additional parmesean cheese on top.
10. Enjoy!
