CHICKEN PESTO PENNE
We had a wonderful pasta dish at a local restaurant and I have spent time recreating and (blush blush) I think improving on it. This is not low fat, but it is nice for a once in a while treat. If you want to indulge even more, perhaps for company, (and make it taste even better) use full fat cream instead of the half and half! I use bought, jarred pesto but homemade would be even better. I hope you enjoy it!

Steps:
- Season and saute the chicken breast. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, cook the penne in salted boiling water.
- In the same pan as the chicken breast, saute mushrooms and onion. When almost done, add garlic and saute until fragrant.
- Add cream and pesto and bring to a boil. Put the chicken back in the pan and add the sun-dried tomatoes Simmer gently for 5 to 10 minutes to thicken.
- Add most of the parmesan (reserving a little for the top).
- Drain the penne saving some of the water.
- Add the penne to the sauce and stir. Add reserved water if needed to thin the sauce.
- Serve penne topped with the saved parmesan and basil if using.
- Serve.
