Hey there, foodie friends!
This flavorful pasta dish is infused with the rich, robust flavors of Tuscany, with a cheeky twist courtesy of a splash of your favorite wine.

Ingredients:





Ingredients:
- 8 ounces penne pasta (or your favorite pasta shape)
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup white wine (such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (such as oregano, basil, and thyme)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Season the thinly sliced chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken slices and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften.
- Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Allow the wine to reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream and dried Italian herbs. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
- Return the cooked chicken slices to the skillet and add the cooked pasta. Toss everything together until well coated in the creamy wine sauce.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta and toss again until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
- Serve the Tipsy Tuscan Chicken Pasta hot, paired with a glass of the same wine used in the recipe for an extra cheeky touch.
