Prep

Step 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Step 2. Meanwhile, season the Chicken Breast with the rest of the Salt and the Black Pepper.

Cook

Step 3. Heat the Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in batches until golden, about 3 minutes per side; transfer to a plate. It will finish cooking in the sauce.
Step 4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the Garlic and Sun-Dried Tomatoes to the skillet and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 5. Pour in the Chicken Broth and Heavy Cream, scraping up the browned bits. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes, then stir in the Parmesan. Meanwhile, add most of the Salt and the Penne to the boiling water and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes, then drain.
Step 6. Return the chicken and any juices to the skillet. Simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through with no pink inside, about 4 minutes.

Finish & serve

Step 7. Divide the pasta and chicken among plates, spoon the sauce over them and scatter with Fresh Basil.
