A delightful pasta dish combining tender chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, and a creamy sauce for a comforting meal.
Boil water in a large pot, add a pinch of salt, and cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining to adjust the sauce consistency later.
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides.
Cut the chicken into even pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for a minute to reduce slightly.
Scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate any browned bits into the sauce.
Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, pesto, and mustard. Mix well to combine.
Adjust the amount of pesto to your taste preference.
Pour in the cream and add the Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens.
Keep the heat low to prevent the cream from curdling.
Add the cooked pasta to the pan and toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
Add reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
Serve the pasta in bowls and garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
