Creamy Chicken and Sundried Tomato Pasta
This is one of the best pasta dishes I have tried in ages!! I had some ingredients in my fridge that I wanted to use up and I stumbled across this recipe from a zaar member, who I had made recipes from before and enjoyed, so I knew I had to try it. It was so good my son could not keep from going on and on at how much he loved it. I made everything as stated except I browned whole breasts and added them at the cream stage to finish cooking through, sliced thickly and served over the top, just thought it made for a prettier presentation.

3. Pour in the wine and allow to cook off for about a minute, then add the water and stock powder and cook for a couple more minutes until it reduces a little.

4. Pour in the cream and cook on a low heat for about 10 minutes until the chicken is well cooked and tender and the sauce is creamy.
