Tomato Basil Chicken

This easy recipe is done in 20 minutes and uses

 fresh garden ingredients that I usually have
in the house. So it's just - defrost 2 chicken
breasts and the "what's for dinner?" 

question is answered. I use my large black
cast iron skillet for this., which I love.

 It browns the chicken nicely and I can cut 

the chicken  right in the skillet when it's done. 

Get out all the ingredients; it goes fast. 

1. Start your water boiling for the pasta. 

2. Prep/chop your ingredients.

3. Boil the fettucini, drain and 

reserved a little pasta water.

 4. While the pasta is cooking brown the chicken.

5.  Add the tomatoes, garlic, basil, and butter.

Season with more salt and pepper.

 6. The chicken is cooked in a matter of minutes
and the ingredients create a nice sauce.
Add a little reserved pasta water if
needed to increase the sauce.

 This is a Pinterest recipe. I've had it

pinned for a while and made it some time

ago but never posted it myself because I

thought it was everywhere. My daughter Kim

made it last week after work and loved it.

My granddaughter Kristina took it to

work the next day for a yummy lunch.

 7.  Cut the chicken into diagonal slices.
Serve over fettucini and enjoy!
