Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Creamy Sauce
3. In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed. Sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and let it cook for 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly.
Step 4: Combine Pasta and Chicken
5. Add the cooked pasta and chicken to the skillet with the creamy sauce. Toss to coat everything evenly. Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese, allowing it to melt into the sauce, creating a creamy texture.
Step 5: Add Fresh Basil and Red Pepper Flakes
6. Stir in the fresh chopped basil and red pepper flakes for a bit of heat and a fresh burst of flavor.
Step 6: Serve
7. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot, and garnish with extra basil and mozzarella if desired.
