Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons All-purpose Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 15 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 12 ounces Dried fettuccine noodles
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, dried basil, and red pepper flakes. Simmer the sauce over low-medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips. Add the chicken slices back into the skillet with the sauce and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Toss the cooked fettuccine noodles with the chicken and sauce until well coated.
Serve the Italian noodles and chicken in bowls, garnished with freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.
