• Add green onions and bell pepper to the drippings in the skillet. Cook until tender, about 1 minute. Add chicken broth and wine and bring to a boil, about 5 minutes. Simmer until juices have reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 5 minutes more. Add cream and continue to simmer to reduce slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.

Transfer linguine to a large mixing bowl; add 2 tablespoons olive oil, the Parmesan cheese, and the quartered cherry tomatoes; toss until the pasta is evenly coated in oil.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts, turning once, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

• If your chicken breasts have tenderloins attached, remove them and reserve for another use.
• Place each breast between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound gently to a thickness of about 1/2-inch.
• In a shallow dish (a pie plate works well), combine the flour with 1-1/2 tablespoons of the seasoning blend. You should have about 1/2 teaspoon of the blend remaining - reserve this for finishing the sauce.
• Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.
• Coat the bottom of a large, heavy skillet with vegetable oil and place over medium-high heat.

• Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add in the water, lime juice, cilantro and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil. Let boil for about 5 minutes to get the flavors to combine. Stir well to deglaze the pan.
