Ingredients
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • ½ onion - chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves - chopped
  • ⅛ tsp. crushed red pepper
  • 4 sun dried tomatoes- chopped
  • 2 to 4 thin chicken cutlets - cut into 1-2 inch pieces
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ½ cup white wine
  • ½ cup half & half

  • ⅓ cup parmigiana grated cheese

  • 3 cups Whole Grain Penne Pasta

Instructions
  1. In a large deep skillet. On medium heat, heat olive oil and melt butter.
  2. Add onion, garlic, sun dried tomatoes, and crushed red pepper.
  3. Sauté for a few minutes until onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the chopped chicken, the salt and pepper. Saute and stir the chicken until it is fully cooked, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  5. Pour in the white wine and simmer for about 2 minutes. Then stir in the cream. Cook the cream for 1 minutes and turn off the heat. Cover with a lid.
  6. In the meantime, in a large sauce pot filled with water. Bring water to boil and add some salt to the water. Add both pastas. Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package, or until al dente.
  7. When pasta is ready. Using a large slotted ladle or a mini colander, gently pull the pasta, allow to drain slightly and transfer directly into the skillet with the cream sauce.
  8. Turn the heat back on under the skillet and on the lowest setting.
  9. Add the ¼ cup of chicken broth.
  10. Gently stir the pasta with the cream mixture for about 2 minutes.
  11. Add the parmigiana cheese and stir until well incorporated. Here you can add more cream or more chicken broth, if you like you have more creamy sauce.
  12. Add some fresh ground pepper to taste. Transfer pasta to bowls and serve immediately.
  13. Serves 4
