Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions.

Drain the cooked spaghetti. Add the spaghetti to the pan with sun-dried tomatoes, and toss until pasta is coated with the sauce. Taste and season with salt. Slice the chicken breasts and add to the sun-dried tomato pasta. Serve sprinkled with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
