Heat the 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the chicken is seared on each side.
Add the 4 ounces sun-dried tomatoes, 1 cup half and half, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, ½ cup chopped basil, ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, and ½ cup water to the pan and stir until the cheese is melted and sauce starts to thicken and the chicken is cooked through.
Add the 8 ounces cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat. Serve fresh!
