Chicken Pasta
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain the pasta and set aside while you prepare the chicken and sauce.

- Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate, and set it aside while you make the sauce.
Sauce

- Whisk in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and parmesan cheese.
- Stir in the drained sun-dried tomatoes, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Season with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Simmer the sauce for a few minutes for it to thicken.
