Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast?
Yes. Thighs will be juicier and more forgiving; cook until internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 10-12 minutes depending on piece size.
What type of sun-dried tomatoes should I use?
Oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes work best since you'll use the flavorful oil for cooking. If using dry-packed, rehydrate in warm water for 10 minutes first.
Can I make this ahead?
Prepare and refrigerate up to 24 hours before cooking. The pasta absorbs sauce as it sits, so add extra broth or cream when reheating if needed.
Is this dish gluten-free?
Use gluten-free pasta in place of regular pasta. All other ingredients are naturally gluten-free.
How do I prevent the sauce from breaking?
Add cream and cheese off heat or over low heat, stirring constantly. Avoid boiling after adding dairy to keep the sauce smooth.
