My neighbors returned from Italy with a package of pasta and some good olive oil for me. What a treat! I used them both in this recipe.
Pasta with Chicken and Artichoke Hearts
Ingredients
- 2 Tbs olive oil
- 1 pound chicken breasts or tenders, cut in bite sized pieces
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup white wine
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 15-oz can artichoke quarters, rinsed, drained, and chopped
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped or a few Tbs of dried
- 12 ounces corkscrew or similarly-shaped pasta
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to directions.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet on medium-high. Add the chicken and cook 2-3 minutes, until browned. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Add wine, salt, pepper, and artichokes. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook about 5-8 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. The sauce will thicken a bit as it cooks.
- Turn the heat off and stir in the cheese and basil. Serve over the cooked pasta or toss it all together if you’d rather.
Thanks for this recipe. It looks like something right up my alley! 🙂
