Ingredients: 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts salt and pepper 1/4 cup olive oil 5–6 roma tomatoes, diced 3 cloves garlic, minced one handful fresh basil, loosely packed, cut into ribbons 1/4 cup LAND O LAKES® European Style Super Premium Salted Butter 8 ounces pasta, like spaghetti, linguine, or bucatini ~ CLICK TO READ DETAILS ~
Instructions:
Cover the chicken with plastic wrap and pound each piece to an even thickness, about one inch or so in the thickest parts (this just helps it cook faster and more evenly). Remove the plastic and sprinkle each piece of chicken generously with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
Prep the tomatoes, garlic, and basil and set aside. Make the pasta according to package directions.
Heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet until a drop of water sizzles across the top. Add the chicken and pan-fry for several minutes on each side – the goal here is to get the chicken cooked AND get a nice browning on the outside. When the chicken is done, set aside.
