Pasta with Chicken and Sun Dried Tomatoes

Place the sun-dried tomatoes in a heatproof bowl, cover with boiling water, and set aside to soften for about 15 Minutes. Meanwhile, bring a large covered pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente or firm to the tooth.

While the pasta cooks, in a small pan on low heat, heat the oil and add garlic. Saute until golden. Add chicken strips and saute until just cooked through. Set aside and reserve oil with garlic. Drain the sun-dried tomatoes, reserving the soaking liquid. Cut the tomatoes into thin strips

When the pasta is done, drain it and place in a serving bowl. Add the cooked chicken and garlic oil, sun-dried tomato strips, toasted almonds, and parsley. Toss well. Stir in some of the reserved sun-dried tomato soaking liquid to moisten the pasta, if needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
