I was going to title this post, "My Chicken & Sun Dried Tomato Fettuccine is better than your Chicken & Sun Dried Tomato Fettuccine," but decided against it as not to offend some of you, but it is, so bring it on! This is an extremely easy dish to make, and it reminds me of a since closed local restaurant where I loved to eat this dish, and I'm so happy now that I've replicated it!

Ingredients:
1lb Fettuccine, Cooked Thru
1lb Chicken Breast, Sliced Thin into Strips
3 Cloves Garlic, Minced
1 8.5 oz Jar Sun Dried Tomatoes, Discard oil, slice thin. (save the oil if you like)
2 Shallots, Minced
2 Tablespoons, Butter
2 Tablespoons, Olive Oil
3 Cups Heavy Cream
2 Cups Dry White Wine
1 Cup Grated Parmigianno Regianno
Salt and Pepper to Taste (don't be afraid to season)

Method:
1. Start a large pot of water boiling, add about 3 tablespoons of salt, then start the noodles.

2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, liberally

3. Start a large stainless steel skillet on medium-high heat, and the butter and olive oil, and once the oil starts smoking, add the chicken, and cook until done. Allow the little bits and what not to stick on the bottom of the pan. These are caramelized flavors packed with TONS of flavor. Once the chicken is done, deglaze the pan with 1 to 1 1/4 cup of the white wine scraping the bottom of the pan cleaning it removing all the caramelized chicken.

3. Immediately add the garlic and shallots, season with salt and pepper and allow the wine mixture to reduce (which concentrates the flavors).

4. Add the cream and bring to a boil reducing the heat to a simmer, slowly stir in the parmigianno and add the white wine (note, you can add more if you like, I probably would). It should look like the screenshot below. Season with salt and pepper. Taste it!



5. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens. Don't let it burn on the bottom. Raise the heat if you have to get that simmer started. Once the sauce starts thickening add the sun dried tomatoes and chicken to the skillet. Taste the sauce! Adjust seasoning

6. Drain the noodles and add them to the skillet tossing to coat well, serve, and enjoy!
