What an outstanding dish - tender chicken, aromatic herbs, sun-dried tomatoes in a creamy, savory sauce.
|
1 | Preheat oven to 350°F. Place sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl, add boiling water, and set aside. |
2 | Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. While waiting for water boil, combine chicken and wine in a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle the herbs on top of chicken. |
3 | Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the center of the meat is no longer pink. Remove chicken from dish, shred the meat, and reserve the cooking juices. |
4 | Drain the sun-dried tomatoes and slice them thinly. Pour the reserved cooking juices from chicken into a sauté pan. Add shallots, mushrooms, peas, and sun-dried tomatoes. |
5 | Sauté over low heat for a few minutes, until liquid has been absorbed and the vegetables are wilted. Remove the pan from heat and cover it to keep the vegetables warm. |
6 | Add penne to the water in the large pot, which should be at a full boil. Cook over high heat about 8 to 12 minutes or until desired doneness. While pasta is cooking prepare sauce. |
7 | Preheat a small, heavy saucepan for about 1 minute over medium heat, then spray it twice with vegetable spray. Toss in the garlic and flour, then using a whisk, blend in the evaporated milk. |
8 | Add nutmeg and red pepper flakes. Whisking constantly, bring mixture to a boil. Continue to cook for about 5 minutes or until sauce has thickened. |
9 | Reduce heat and stir in basil. Drain pasta and transfer to a warm serving dish. Add the chicken, vegetables, and sauce. |
10 | ENJOY! |
