To serve, place the pasta mixture in a bowl, top with a cooked chicken breast, and garnish with additional shaved Parmesan cheese, if desired.
For an even richer flavor, try using half-and-half instead of milk.
To save time, you can use pre-cooked grilled chicken breasts.
If you don't have sun-dried tomatoes on hand, a tablespoon of tomato paste can be used as a substitute.
A pinch of red pepper flakes adds a nice touch of heat.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
