Ooooh pasta. You really are one of the great loves of my life.

This is an epically good homemade romantic dinner for two. Perfect for Valentine’s Day. 

And this Chicken, Artichoke and Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta, is truly one of the best ones I have made in a long time. 

It’s loaded with chunks of tender chicken breasts, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes in a white wine sauce. 

To finish it all off, I add a good amount of goat cheese sprinkled on top right before serving. Totally optional, but completely delicious. 

Chicken Breasts vs Chicken Thighs

I use chicken breasts in this Chicken, Artichoke and Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta. 

However, a great alternative is to use chicken thighs cut into chunks instead.

Chicken thighs are more moist than chicken breast, so it’s really a personal choice. 

And if you are in a super quick hurry, you can also use meat from a rotisserie chicken. 

Optional Ingredient Swaps:

I like to use goat cheese on top at the very end. It gives added creamy little hidden bites among the pasta. 

However, I know I am a goat cheese fiend and not everyone is. So another great option is feta.

Feta cheese is a firmer saltier cheese than goat cheese, but still will add a great texture and flavor to the overall dish! 

You can also add capers to this recipe for an extra hint of saltiness. 

Pasta: Spaghetti or Angel Hair

Or linguini or bowtie pasta! The options are endless and they all do well with this recipe for Chicken, Artichoke and Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta. 

Whatever pasta you choose, just make sure to cook it till al dente by doing a taste test before draining your pasta. 

Then quickly toss it in a little olive oil post draining and quickly sauce it. 

This will keep it from sticking to each other and let the sauce coat the pasta well. 

I hope you try this recipe for Chicken, Artichoke and Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta!

It is perfectly balanced and let’s each ingredient shine through. Plus, it’s easy to make! 

The whole recipe comes together in 30 minutes from start to finish.

Make sure and start your pasta water boiling when you are getting started so it’s ready to go.

The rest of the meal comes together quickly and you are diving in fork first. ;-)
