Instructions

Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add chicken, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes.
Stir in sun-dried tomatoes, then add heavy cream, chicken broth, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until sauce is smooth and thickened, about 3–5 minutes.
Toss in cooked pasta, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve hot.
