Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Pasta (spaghetti or linguine) for serving
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package instructions; drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in white wine and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to reduce and intensify the flavors.
- Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together so the pasta is well-coated in the sauce.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, pair with a Caesar salad and garlic bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
