- Create the sauce by pouring in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring in chopped sun-dried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Combine by stirring in grated Parmesan cheese and adding the cooked pasta, tossing until well-combined and creamy.
- Finish the dish by slicing the chicken and arranging it on top of the pasta, garnishing with fresh basil and extra Parmesan if desired.
