Ingredients

1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1/2-inch wide strips
1 1/2 c. small broccoli flowerets
3/4 c. oil packed sun-dried tomatoes
1 tsp. dried basil leaves
pinch of red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 c. dry white wine
3/4 c. chicken broth
1 Tbsp. butter or margarine
1/2 lb. bow tie pasta, cooked according to pkg. directions and drained

Preparation

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Saute the garlic for about 1 minute until golden, stirring constantly. Add chicken strips and saute until white and almost completely cooked. Add the broccoli and saute until crisp-tender, then add the sun-dried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
Add the wine, then the broth and butter. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
Toss the cooked pasta with the chicken mixture. Serve with Parmesan cheese, if desired.
