Chicken and Linguine with Tomato Basil Butter Sauce
Perfectly seared chicken with easy, buttery marinara sauce served atop a bed of linguine- tastes like Italy, but is so quick and easy to make on a weeknight!
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.
