Marry Me Chicken Pasta

recipe

• Step 1
  In a pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Once cooked through, drain the pasta. Set aside & keep warm.
• Step 2
  Meanwhile, if needed drain & small dice the sun-dried tomatoes.
• Step 3
  Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing in half through the center, creating two equal portions. Season all over with salt & pepper.
• Step 4
  Melt a dab of butter in a pan, over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan. Sear, undisturbed for 2-3 min on each side. Set aside.
• Step 5
  In the same pan, over medium-low heat, stir in the tomato paste. Pour the chicken broth (50 ml per person) to deglaze the bottom of the pan, scraping up any seared bits.
• Step 6
  Stir in the crème fraîche & grated parmesan until combined. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, dried oregano & garlic powder . Mix it all together. Optional: add some crushed chilli pepper for an extra kick.
• Step 7
  Add the seared chicken back to the pan. Simmer the chicken & sauce for 2-3 min, over low heat, spooning the sauces over the chicken.
• Step 8
  Serve the creamy tomato chicken over the cooked linguine. Garnish with a bit more parmesan & fresh basil, if you have some. Enjoy !
