→ For Garnish
12 -
Freshly grated parmesan cheese
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Ladle the finished dish into bowls. Sprinkle each with a generous mound of parmesan. Dig in right away.
02 -
When it’s off the stove, pour in the heavy cream. Give it all one last stir for a creamy twist. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if it needs a little more.
03 -
Pop the dry rotini into your simmering mix. Let it cook until the noodles have a bit of bite left—usually takes around 10 to 12 minutes, but check your box just in case.
04 -
Splash in chicken broth. Turn up the heat till it boils, then bring it back to a comfy simmer. Shake in Italian herbs along with salt and pepper. Give it a taste if you want.
05 -
Drop in the tomato paste. Stir for a minute, then add shredded chicken. Make sure it’s mixed well.
06 -
Toss in those sun-dried tomatoes and fresh chopped basil. Let them soak up the heat for about a minute so flavors blend together.
07 -
Heat up a big pot over medium heat. Pour in a splash of oil, toss in the onions and pressed garlic, and stir until everything’s soft with a little color.
08 -
Before you turn on the stove, prep all the ingredients. Shred the chicken and chop up the veggies so they're ready to go.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
If you want to make this ahead of time, wait to add the pasta until just before you eat. Noodles can soak up a lot of your broth if they sit for too long.
02 -
Sun-dried tomatoes bring a strong tangy punch—add less if you’re not into bold flavors.
