Ingredients

  • 8 ounces fettuccine
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup basil leaves, chiffonade
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan

Instructions

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.
  • Season chicken with Italian seasoning; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook, flipping once, until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes on each side. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Add garlic, tomatoes, basil and red pepper flakes, if using, to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to burst and have softened, about 5 minutes.

  • Serve immediately, topped with chicken and garnished with Parmesan, if desired.
