This sun-dried tomato chicken pasta dish is my favorite summer meal to serve to guests. It goes great with bruschetta and a glass of wine.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (12 ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
1 (9 ounce) jar sun-dried tomato pesto
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound dry penne pasta

Directions

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breast; cook and stir until browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant. Add roasted peppers, sun-dried tomato pesto, cream, basil, and cayenne pepper; stir until well mixed. Simmer over low heat until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened, about 20 to 30 minutes.
While sauce is simmering, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in penne and return to a boil; cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well.
Spoon sauce over cooked penne.
