How to make Pasta with Chicken & Sundried Tomatoes:Ĭhicken Pasta Milano is a Macaroni Grill copycat recipe that is so quick and easy to make. Parmigiano Reggiano– This is the best kind of Parmesan cheese! I highly recommend you always have a wedge of this in your fridge.If you’d like a thicker sauce, use heavy cream. Half-and-Half Cream– This helps create the light creamy sauce.Garlic– Who doesn’t love a little garlic in their pasta?! Hello flavor town!.Sun dried Tomatoes– Holy moly are these packed with flavor! I recommend using the kind packed in oil and draining off as much of the oil as possible.Butter– Needed for cooking the mushrooms.Mushrooms– These are first sauteed in butter which gives them an amazing flavor.For a vegetarian dish, omit and you’ll still have a knock-your-socks-off dish.

Chicken– We’re simply cooking this chicken up in the same pan as you’ll use for the sauce but you could also cook it on the grill, use precooked grilled chicken, or to make things even easier you can use rotisserie chicken.

Pasta– I prefer bow tie (farfalle) for this dish but any short noodle will do.

It’s ready in less than 30 minutes making it great for week nights.
