TUSCAN GARLIC CHICKEN AND LINGUINE RECIPE

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add a small handful of salt and the linguine and cook until it's al dente (has a bite to it). Drain the pasta and reserve 2 cups of the pasta water. Meanwhile, warm a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Once you can feel the heat when you hold your hand 6 inches above the skillet, add the oil. Season both sides of the chicken with the salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet. Cook the chicken until it's a deep golden brown and completely cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken and place it on a plate. Add the garlic, bell peppers and red pepper flakes to the skillet and cook until the peppers are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the wine and seasoning blend to the skillet and scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the wine to a boil for 2 minutes. Add the half-and-half and the Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese melts into the sauce, about 1 minute. Add the reserved pasta water, a ladleful at a time, to thin the sauce if necessary. Sprinkle in the spinach and add the pasta. Twirl the pasta and spinach into the sauce with tongs. Top with the cooked chicken. Sprinkle with the parsley. DONNA'S NOTES Covering your pot while bringing it to a boil will cut your cooking time. Be sure not to leave it unattended, or you may have a boil-over to clean up. If you are sensitive to alcohol, you can substitute the Chardonnay for chicken stock.

THE BEST TUSCAN GARLIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Slice the bell pepper julienne and place on a baking sheet. Toss peppers in olive oil and 2 minced gloves of garlic and spread them out. Season with salt and pepper and place in oven.
• Roast peppers for 10-15 minutes until edges begin to darken and the peppers become tender, stirring peppers halfway through. Set roasted red peppers aside.
• Bring a pot of water to boil and cook pasta while following the next steps.
• In a medium sauce pan on low-medium heat, add 3 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and stick of butter. After butter melts, whisk in the flour.
• Add the white wine to the sauce pan. Add the thyme, basil, and sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce. Allow to simmer 2 minutes until wine has reduced.
• Add the heavy cream to the sauce. After sauce comes back up to temperature, slowly stir in the Parmesan cheese. Stir often until cheese is melted and the sauce becomes smooth. Allow the sauce to simmer on low heat while preparing the chicken.
• In a large saute pan on medium-high, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the frozen chicken breast strips. When the chicken is halfway warmed-through, add the roasted red peppers and saute until the chicken is well browned.

• Add the spinach and stir well to allow sauce to wilt the leaves.
• Add the drained fettuccine pasta to the saute pan and stir using tongs to coat the pasta well.
