Instructions

  1. Using the oil drained from the sun dried tomatoes, heat in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add diced onion and saute for 3 minutes. Add in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds more. Add chicken; cook until browned, approximately 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in chicken broth and uncooked pasta. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, bringing to a simmer.
  4. Cover with a lid and continue to cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the pasta is al dente and most of the water has reduced.
