• Once chicken is prepared – Remove the chicken from the pan and add the pasta, sun dried tomatoes and broth to the pan. You will add any additional seasoning that your prefer.
• Cover and Boil – Once the ingredients are in the pan, cover the pan with a lid and let boil. Once it begins to boil stir the ingredients, then cover again and reduce heat.
• Cook Noodles – Let the noodles cook al dente for about 7 to 10 minutes. Once these ingredients have cooked, stir in the heavy cream and chicken to heat all together.
