Chicken With Tomatoes and Artichokes
Ingredients
1 (14.5-ounce) can artichoke hearts (drained)
6 plum tomatoes (rinsed)
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces fettuccine pasta (regular or spinach)
1 tablespoon basil pesto
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 teaspoon roasted garlic
1/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Steps
1. Fill large saucepan half full of water. Cover and place on high to boil for pasta.
2. Cut artichokes and tomatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Cut chicken into 1/4-inch strips. Wash hands.
3. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place oil in pan; swirl to coat. Add chicken (wash hands) and cook 2–3 minutes, stirring often, or until chicken is no longer pink.
4. Stir pasta into boiling water. Boil 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until tender.
5. Reduce chicken to medium heat; stir in pesto, seasoned salt, and garlic. Cover and cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, to blend flavors.
6. Deglaze with white wine. (To deglaze: pour in wine and loosen browned bits of food left on bottom.) Stir in artichokes and tomatoes. Cook 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until tomatoes begin to soften and sauce is hot.
7. Drain pasta and toss with chicken mixture. Sprinkle with cheese and serve.
