How to Make Penne Chicken With Sun Dried Tomatoes

  1. Coarsely chop 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes. Cover with 1 cup hot chicken broth and let stand for 30 minutes to rehydrate.
  2. Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat until hot.
  3. Add 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced; 2 green onions, thinly sliced; 2 cloves garlic, minced; and 1 tablespoon capers.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mushrooms are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Add 1/2 cup dry red wine and the rehydrated sun-dried tomatoes (including the broth). Heat through.
  6. Remove the tomato-mushroom mixture from the skillet and set aside.
  7. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  8. Add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts and brown on both sides for about 3-4 minutes per side.
  9. Return the tomato-mushroom mixture to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
  10. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
  11. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside to rest.
  12. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup milk, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon dried basil.
  13. Stir the milk mixture into the tomato mixture. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  14. Simmer for 1 minute, or until the sauce has thickened.
