Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl and cover them with hot water to rehydrate. Set aside for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente. Drain and keep warm.
  3. While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté until lightly browned and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  5. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until lightly browned on the outside and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  6. Remove the chicken and vegetable mixture from the skillet and transfer to a plate, setting aside.
  7. Reduce heat to medium and sprinkle the all-purpose flour into the same skillet, stirring constantly to coat the bottom.
  8. Gradually pour in the low-fat chicken broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil, about 3-4 minutes.
  9. Drain the rehydrated sun-dried tomatoes and add them to the thickened sauce in the skillet.
  10. Return the chicken mixture to the skillet and stir in the fresh parsley and basil.
  11. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  12. Serve the hot chicken sauce over the cooked linguine.
  13. Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese if desired and serve immediately.
