Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz penne pasta
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 large (about 1 lb total) chicken breast
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tsp, freshly chopped rosemary
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 jar (12 oz), drained and roughly chopped marinated artichoke hearts
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup, freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp, chopped for garnish fresh parsley
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the marinated artichoke hearts and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine. Gradually stir in the Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the sauce. If needed, use the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce to your desired consistency.
Add the sliced chicken back into the skillet and toss gently to coat in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat everything through.
Serve the pasta warm, garnished with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
