This is a dish I came up with to serve with HeatherFeather's Red Wine & Rosemary Sauce over Linguine. This is so simple and extremely easy. I pan-fry the chicken in a skillet, then prepare the sauce in the same skillet. You might get some blackened 'stuff' in the pasta sauce - I strain it first before serving.

Ingredients

2 serv.
  • boneless skinless chicken breast halves4
  • teaspoon kosher salt, divided1 teaspoon
  • teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, divided1 teaspoon
  • tablespoon olive oil1 tablespoon
  • teaspoons parmesan cheese, grated (optional)2 teaspoons

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Pound the chicken breasts with a meat mallet or a rolling pin, to tenderize the meat and ensure uniform thickness.

  2. 2

    Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken and let sit for 15 minutes or so.

  3. 3

    Heat a skillet over med-high heat, and add olive oil.

  4. 4

    When pan is sufficiently heated, sear chicken breasts over high heat.

  5. 5

    Allow about 2 minutes (until lightly browned) before turning to other side.

  6. 6

    Optional: Before serving, sprinkle grated cheese on chicken and broil for approx 5-10 mins (until cheese is melted).

  7. 7

    Serving suggestions: Serve this over pasta, or as chicken sandwich with fresh tomatoes, lettuce and mustard/mayo.

  8. 8

    Personally I love this with fried rice too.
