How to Make Chicken Breasts With Sun Dried Tomatoes

Soak ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes in 1 cup chicken broth for at least 30 minutes (or longer, for a more intense flavor).
Sauté 8 oz cremini mushrooms, 1 medium onion (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced) in 2 tbsp olive oil for 3-5 minutes, until softened. Add a splash more olive oil if needed.
Set aside the mushroom mixture.
Season two 6-oz chicken breasts with ½ tsp meat tenderizer and ¼ tsp black pepper. Sear in 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat until browned on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side). Add 2 more minced cloves of garlic during the last minute of searing.
Add the sun-dried tomato mixture (including the soaking liquid) to the skillet with the chicken. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove chicken from the skillet, let cool slightly, then slice into thin strips. Keep warm.
While the chicken simmers, cook 1 lb farfalle pasta according to package directions until al dente.
In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup milk, 1 tbsp cornstarch, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh basil.
Add the milk mixture to the skillet with the sun-dried tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens (about 1 minute).
Stir in the cooked chicken strips and mushroom mixture.
Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet. Toss gently to coat in the sauce.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra basil if desired.
