Chicken in a Creamy Parmesan and Sundried Tomato Sauce
From: Kevin Lynch @ www.closetcooking.com/
Everyone loves a quick, easy and tasty chicken dish and this chicken in a creamy parmesan and sun-dried tomato sauce fits the bill perfectly coming together in less than 30 minutes. This recipe could not be easier, you simply cook the chicken in the pan and then make the sauce in the same pan! The sauce is pretty simple and yet packed with flavor from the sun-dried tomatoes and parmesan and it is made in a base of chicken broth and cream. This chicken in a creamy parmesan and sun-dried tomato sauce is great by itself or served over rice, quinoa, etc. or you could even slice the chicken up and toss it and the sauce into a pasta like fettuccine.

1/4 cup oil packed sundried tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup parmigiano reggiano (parmesan), grated
salt and pepper to taste
