Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 small jar (3-4 Oz) sun dried tomatoes, in oil
1 lb. chicken breast tenders, sliced
salt
pinch of paprika
1 cup half & half
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
8 oz. penne pasta
1 T. basil
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
Directions:
Directions:
In large skillet, on high heat, sauté garlic and sun- dried tomatoes (drained) in 2 T. of the oil from the tomatoes for 1 minute. Remove tomatoes from the pan, leaving the oil. Add your chicken, salt and paprika and cook for 1 minute on each side. Remove from heat. Cook pasta according to box directions, reserve some cooked pasta water. Drain and rinse the pasta with cold water. Slice the sun-dried tomatoes into smaller pieces and add them back into the skillet with the chicken. Add half & half and cheese to the skillet and bring to a gentle boil. Immediately reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, until all cheese melts and creamy sauce forms. If sauce seems too thick, we will be adding some pasta water soon. Add cooked pasta to the skillet and stir to combine. Add basil and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine. Add reserved cooked pasta water a little at a time to get to desired thickness. Add salt to desired taste and can add more pepper flakes if you wish. Simmer a couple more minutes so flavors can combine.
