Will the sun‑dried tomatoes overpower the dish?

No,they add a sweet tang, especially when balanced by cream and Parmesan.

Can I use jarred sun‑dried tomatoes in oil?

Yes. Drain excess oil first so the sauce doesn't become overly greasy.

Is this recipe gluten‑free?

Yes, if you choose gluten‑free broth and skip any pasta if needed.

Can I convert this to Instant Pot?

Definitely. Pressure cook the chicken and sauce for about 10 minutes, then add pasta and cook a few minutes under pressure, followed by a quick release.

How long do leftovers last?

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently, adding a splash of cream or broth if it thickens too much.
