Ingredients

• 12 ounces Linguine
• 2 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cups White wine
• 0.75 cups Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Parsley
• 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
• 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine until al dente according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

Slice the chicken breasts horizontally to create thin cutlets. Season both sides of the chicken with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoons of garlic powder.

Step 3

Dredge the chicken cutlets lightly in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cutlets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in 0.5 cups of white wine and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the wine to reduce slightly, about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Add 0.75 cups of chicken broth, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 0.25 teaspoons of red pepper flakes. Stir well and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes.

Step 8

Slice the cooked chicken into strips and return it to the skillet. Toss to coat the chicken in the sauce and heat through.

Step 9

Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated in the sauce.

Step 10

Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley and 0.25 cups of grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy!
