ALFREDO TORTELLINI AND CHICKEN

Steps:

• If using dry tortellini, boil water and add tortellini, cook as directed and drain (have tortellini cooking when you start the chicken).

• Press garlic through garlic press and saute in olive oil until slightly browned.
• Add diced chicken breasts and saute until juices run clear.
• If using package of Alfredo sauce, mix ingredients for sauce and cook as directed (do while chicken is cooking).

• Mix well.
• Grate parmesan cheese on top of mixture and put in oven until cheese starts to melt.

SKILLET CHICKEN WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pound to an even thickness. If breasts are very large, cut them in half. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook 1/2 of the chicken breasts until they are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from skillet and set aside. Melt another 4 tablespoons butter and repeat with the remaining chicken breasts. Set aside.
• Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet and add garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Pour in wine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Pour in chicken broth, return to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in cream and sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer for 5 minutes.
• Stir in basil and return chicken to the skillet. Cook until chicken is thoroughly heated and sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes.
