Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken, cut into 1-inch pieces
10 ounces penne pasta
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoon garlic, minced
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained
1 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
Fresh basil for garnish

Directions:

Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and cook chicken until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Stir in flour to make a paste, then gradually whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream. Add parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Simmer until the sauce thickens.
Return the chicken and cooked pasta to the skillet, stirring to coat in the sauce. Garnish with fresh basil and extra parmesan cheese before serving.
