Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 medium yellow onion finely chopped
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup vodka
1 cup chicken stock
1 can crushed tomatoes (32 ounces)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar (optional)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (more for garnish)
1/3 cup parsley (more for garnish)
20 basil leaves chopped (more for garnish)
1 teaspoon salt and pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream
16 ounces penne rigate or rigatoni pasta

Steps:

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and seasoned chicken breasts. Saute for 8 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches 165 degrees when temped with a digital food thermometer. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan (no need to clean it, the chicken bits and juices will add flavor). Add onion and garlic, then saute for 4-5 minutes over medium heat.
Stir the vodka into the pan and simmer for 2 minutes.
Add chicken stock, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, Parmesan cheese, parsley, basil, sugar (if using), salt and pepper.
Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
While the sauce simmers, cook penne noodles in salted boiling water until cooked to al dente.
Turn down the heat on the tomtato sauce and slowly stir or whisk the heavy cream in, saute for 2 minutes then remove the pan from the heat.
Fold the cooked pasta into the sauce.
Slice the chicken breasts and serve them over the pasta with more grated Parmesan, fresh chopped parsley and basil.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish.
Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the chicken, make sure to give it enough space so that it can brown evenly.
Cook the pasta al dente. This means that it should be slightly firm to the bite.
Use a good quality vodka. A cheap vodka will not taste as good in the sauce.
Let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen.
Serve immediately. This dish is best served hot and fresh.
