The garlic-parmesan sauce is ultra creamy and made with copious amounts of garlic + sundried tomatoes, then coupled with pan-seared paprika chicken and finished with fresh cracked pepper and basil 👌🏻 Serve over pasta, zoodles, spaghetti squash, or with your favorite crusty bread! This one’s going to be on repeat in our house all winter long and can be prepped ahead and reheated in the microwave or oven.
