SUN DRIED TOMATO BUTTER (COMPOUND BUTTER)

Steps:

• Leave the butter out at room temperature for a few hours to soften. PRO TIP: cut the cube into little cubes and it will soften faster.
• Snip fresh herbs and sun dried tomatoes in a small mug or glass jar with clean kitchen scissors until the herbs and tomatoes are finely minced.
• Mix soft butter, 1/4 cup finely chopped herbs and sun dried tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt and 1 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper, in a small bowl with a spatula.
• Place your sun dried tomato butter in a small sealed container with a lid, it will keep in the fridge for a week. Or place on parchment paper in a log shape, roll and twist ends closed-keep in fridge or freeze for longer storage.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the chicken breast meat for about 10 minutes, until the chicken is browned. Add the garlic, cook and stir with the chicken for about 1 minute, and pour in the cream. Mix in the sun-dried tomato pesto, roasted peppers, basil, and cayenne pepper; simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
• While the sauce is simmering, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the penne, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain well.
• Serve the sauce over the cooked penne.
