  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breast; cook and stir until browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant. Add roasted peppers, sun-dried tomato pesto, cream, basil, and cayenne pepper; stir until well mixed. Simmer over low heat until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • While sauce is simmering, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in penne and return to a boil; cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well.
  • Spoon sauce over cooked penne.
