Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Parmesan
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 8 ounces rigatoni or penne, cooked al dente
  • 1/3 cup julienne-cut fresh basil
  • Kosher salt
  • fresh cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat.
  2. Add garlic, Italian seasoning, and a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Cook, frequently stirring for about 30 seconds.
  3. Stir in a few splashes of chicken broth until it cleans the bottom of the pan. Be sure to scrape all the yummy bits off the bottom.
  4. Add sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, and a couple pinches of salt and pepper.
  5. Cook for a couple minutes over medium-low heat until the cheese is melted. Bring it to a simmer and gently simmer until the sauce thickens slightly. Add white wine vinegar.
  6. Stir in rotisserie chicken and pasta. Cook for a couple minutes until warmed through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  7. Top with fresh basil and enjoy!

Notes

    • Sun-Dried Tomatoes. Opt for jarred sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil for extra richness. Sautéing them with garlic adds an intense, tangy flavor to the sauce.

    • Simmer Sauce. Let the creamy sauce simmer for a few minutes to thicken and intensify the flavors. Heavy cream, Parmesan, and seasonings come together beautifully when given time to meld.

    • Garnish. Finish with plenty of fresh basil, cracked pepper, and extra Parmesan for a vibrant, flavorful touch that makes the dish feel complete.
