Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp sun dried tomato oil or olive oil
  • 1.5 lb. chicken breast diced
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • ½ cup sun dried tomatoes sliced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 8 oz 2 cups pasta (shells, orecchiette, ditalini)
  • 3 cups kale chopped
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • Crusty bread for serving optional

Instructions

  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Then, pour the sun-dried tomato oil (or olive oil) into a large pot or dutch oven and heat over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook until the chicken is cooked through; remove with a slotted spoon and drain the juices.
  • Add the butter to the same pot. Once melted, add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, then add the garlic, italian seasoning, salt, and red pepper flakes and sauté for 1 minute.
  • Add the tomato paste and sun-dried tomatoes and sauté for 2 minutes until the tomato paste is fragrant, then pour in the chicken broth and bring broth to a boil.
  • Once boiling, add in the pasta noodles and cook until pasta is cooked (time varies depending on the kind of noodle you use). Once it’s cooked, add the chicken back in, along with the kale, heavy cream, and parmesan cheese.
  • Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the kale has softened, then remove from the heat.
  • Divide into bowls and garnish with extra parmesan and/or red pepper flakes. Enjoy!
