Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
