Linguine With Chicken Garlic And Basil Recipes

GARLIC AND BASIL CHICKEN PASTA WITH ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut fat off of chicken. Cut chicken into bite sized pieces and set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine olive oil, wine vinegar, basil, chives, garlic, salt, & pepper.
• Sautee chicken in large skillet until no longer pink and nicely seared on both sides. This will take approximately 30 minutes on med-high heat with an electric stove.
• While chicken is sauteeing, cook pasta according to package instructions. Spoon mixture from step 2 over chicken about 2 minutes before it is done cooking.
• When pasta is done, drain in colander and place in a large (very large) bowl. Add chicken and alfredo sauce to the noodles. Use a scooper to incorporate well.
• Serve and enjoy!

CHICKEN BASIL PASTA

Steps:

• Heat skillet on medium. Spray with nonstick spray.
• Cook pasta according to directions. (I put the water on to boil while I'm cooking the garlic/onions/chicken, so the pasta is finished about the same time as the rest.).
• Toss in onion and garlic. Stir 1 minute.
• Add chicken. Stir and cook 3-5 minutes, until chicken is mostly cooked through. At this point, I sprinkled with some ground pepper.
• Add can of diced tomatoes and half of basil.
• Simmer 3-5 minutes, until basil is wilted.
• Add sun-dried tomatoes and rest of basil.
• Simmer another 2 minutes or so, to let the sun-dried tomatoes soften.
• Spoon on top of pasta. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese & enjoy!
