Directions
Prepare the penne

Cook the chicken

Make the sauce
- Lower heat to medium. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 sec). Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1 minute.
Creamy base
- Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, bring to a gentle simmer. Add Parmesan and stir until melted and thickened.
Add greens & combine

Finish
