How To Make penne with sun-dried tomatoes and chicken
-
1Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

3Fill a large pot with water, and bring it to a boil.
-
4Combine the chicken and the wine in a shallow baking dish.
-
5Sprinkle the Italian seasoning on top.
-
6Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the meat is no longer pink and the juices run clear.

-
9Pour the reserved cooking juices from the chicken into a saute pan.
