Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta with Chicken and Mozzarella

—

### 🔥 How to Make It:

**1. Cook the Pasta:**
Boil pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining.

**2. Sauté the Chicken:**
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken, season with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs, and cook until golden and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.

**3. Sauté Garlic & Tomatoes:**
In the same skillet, lower heat to medium. Add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing until fragrant (about 1 minute).

**4. Make the Sauce:**
Pour in the cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce becomes creamy. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce needs thinning.

**5. Combine Everything:**
Add cooked pasta and chicken back into the skillet. Toss to coat everything evenly in the sauce.

**6. Serve & Garnish:**
Top with extra cheese, fresh herbs, or red pepper flakes for a kick. Serve hot and enjoy!
