Ingredients
  

  • 3 Medium Chicken Breasts
  • 1/2 Medium Onion Sliced 3 Ounces
  • 1 Bell Pepper 4 Ounces
  • 4 Ounces Shredded Italian Blend Cheese
  • 1 Cup Heavy cream 8 Ounces
  • 1 Cup Chicken Or Vegetable Stock 8 Ounces
  • 2 Tablespoons Chopped Sun dried Tomatoes in Oil (Retain 2 Tablespoons of The Oil for Cooking the Chicken)
  • 2 Tablespoons Sacla Arugula Pesto
  • Salt and Pepper to Your Taste

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat a skillet and place the chicken breast in the pan. Coat the chicken with two tablespoons oil from the jar of sun dried tomatoes and lightly season with salt. Cook on low-to-medium heat, turning halfway through cooking to brown both sides, then remove from heat and set aside.
  • Using the same pan, Saute the onions and bell peppers. Do not add any additional oil to the pan. Cook until slightly charred but still crisp, then remove from heat and set it aside with the chicken.
  • In the same pan, combine the Stock, heavy cream and garlic. Slowly simmer the sauce to infuse the garlic, then add in the cheese to melt it. Stirring constantly to prevent clumps or curdling.
  • Once the cheese is fully combined, add in the chopped sun dried tomatoes and re-introduce the peppers, onions and chicken to the pan. Top with two tablespoons Sacla Arugula Pesto, toss and serve.
