Spicy Chicken Pasta | Serves 2
????INGREDIENTS????
Chicken:
1x 9oz/250g Chicken Breast, at room temp
2 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
Pasta:
7oz / 200g Linguine (or other long cut pasta)
2/3 cup / 160ml Heavy/Double Cream
1/3 cup / 80ml Chicken Stock
1/4 cup / 60ml Dry White Wine
1oz / 30g Parmesan, finely grated
6 (2oz/60g) Sun Dried Tomatoes, finely diced
2 tbsp Tomato Puree (tomato paste in US)
1 tbsp Butter
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, finely diced
1 small Onion, finely diced
1 tsp Garlic, minced
1/2 tsp Chilli Flakes
Salt & Pepper, to taste
????METHOD????
In a small bowl, combine 2 tsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika and cayenne pepper, and 1/4 tsp salt and black pepper.
Butterfly your chicken breast right the way through to make 2 even sized breasts. Coat in spicy marinade.
Place in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry for 3mins each side, or until nicely charred and just cooked through the centre (depending on thickness may take more or less time). Place to one side and when ready, slice into thin strips, ensuring you slice against the natural grain of the chicken and at a slight angle.
Turn heat down to medium and melt in 1 tbsp butter, scraping off the flavour from the chicken with a wooden spoon. Add your onion and fry until it begins to soften and pick up colour. Add 1 tsp garlic, fry for 1-2mins longer, then add 1/2 tsp chilli flakes. Fry for 1 min longer, then add sun dried tomatoes. Fry for another minute just to soften them, then pour in 1/4cup/60ml dry white wine. Allow the wine to completely reduce (important to burn off the alcohol, should take 5 or so mins).
Meanwhile, add 7oz/200g pasta to salted boiling water and cook until al dente. Retain a cup of starchy pasta water towards the end of cooking.
Add 2 tbsp tomato puree to the pan. Fry this for 2mins (important to sweeten the taste) then deglaze the pan with 1/3cup/80ml chicken stock. Pour in 2/3cup/160ml heavy/double cream and season to taste with salt & pepper.
Use pasta tongs to add pasta in and toss to combine. Add 1oz/30g freshly grated parmesan, 1 tbsp fresh parsley and your chicken strips. Toss again to coat, using your starchy pasta water to thin out if needed.

This Slow Cooker Creamy Tomato Basil Chicken is SO easy and flavorful, you wouldn't believe it only has a few ingredients! The perfect easy dinner recipe for busy weeknights!
PRINTABLE RECIPE & NUTRITION INFO:
Ingredients
14 oz can diced tomatoes with Italian herbs
1 cup tomato pasta sauce
3/4 cup evaporated milk or heavy cream
1 tablespoon corn starch
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
Instructions
Add tomatoes and pasta sauce to a 3-6 quart slow cooker.
Whisk together cream and corn starch and add to the slow cooker. Stir in garlic, salt, basil and pepper.
Add chicken breasts and press down into the sauce.
Cook on low for 3-5 hours, until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F. The exact cook time will depend on your slow cooker -- a fuller slow cooker will take longer to cook, so a larger one will cook faster.

Creamy Tomato Basil Chicken Breasts | The Recipe Rebel
PRINTABLE RECIPE & NUTRITION INFO:
Made in partnership with Dairy Farmers of Manitoba.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (roughly 1 lb or 454 grams)
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic (2-3 cloves)
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes (optional but adds great flavor!)
398 ml canned diced tomatoes with Italian herbs
¾ cup tomato pasta sauce (marinara or other seasoned tomato sauce)
¾ cup whipping cream (whole milk or half and half also work*)
1 tablespoon corn starch
2 tablespoons freshly chopped basil (1 tablespoon basil pesto is a great substitute if you can't find basil)
freshly grated Parmesan for garnish as desired
Instructions
Halve chicken breasts the long way, so that you have two thin pieces of chicken breast (see video for a visual) -- this helps them to cook more evenly. (You can also use 4 chicken breasts flattened to the same thickness, but you will need a large skillet to cook them)
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Brown chicken breasts on each side. This will take about 2-4 minutes per side.
Remove chicken breasts from the pan and keep covered.
Add the garlic, salt, basil, pepper and pepper flakes if using. Cook 1 minute -- do not let the garlic burn!
Add diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Scrape and browned bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
Whisk together the cream and corn starch and add to the pan. Stir to combine.
Add the chicken breasts back to the pan. Bring to a low simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cover. Cook until chicken breasts reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and the sauce has thickened slightly. Serve.
