Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 2 chicken breasts ((about 1 lb.))
  • 8 oz. linguine (or other pasta)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • kosher salt (to taste)
  • black pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock/broth
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil (chopped (reserve some for serving))
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • parmesan cheese (for serving)

Instruction

  • Cook pasta according to directions in salted water.
  • Meanwhile, season each side of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (1 teaspoon).
  • Heat olive oil (2 tablespoons) in a large skillet.
  • Sear chicken on each side until browned and fully cooked on the inside (about 7-9 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the filets).
  • When chicken is fully cooked, remove to a plate. Add red wine to the skillet and, using a metal spatula, scrape up all the browned bits from cooking the chicken. Allow red wine to reduce by about half by simmering for 2 minutes.
  • Add the chicken broth and marinara sauce. Heat through.
  • Stir in the basil and the butter. Heat until butter is melted.
  • Serve chicken atop the pasta with a generous portion of sauce, sprinkled with remaining basil and parmesan cheese.
