  • 3-4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
  • 8 oz sun-dried tomatoes in oil drained and chopped

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta according to package directions to al dente.
  • Chop chicken into 1-inch pieces and place into a bowl. Stir in the oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chicken in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and continue to cook until cooked through about 5-7 minutes.
